Problems with file_get_contents

[Auriga]

Hi,

i have a problem with relative paths... I'm using the following:

function get_contents() {
$filename = "../images/testimg.png";
$filecontents = file_get_contents($filename);
return $filecontents;
}

When i try to run it, it says that the file cannot be found. However, I'm sure that it's placed in

/images/

whereas the function above is located in

/library/

Even when I replace the relative paths with absolute paths, i still get the error:
$filename = "/images/testimg.png";


I don't see what I'm doing wrong... Is there something that i don't see?

Thanks!

Sorry :) Found the solution! :)

It appears that you need to give in the path relative to the php file that calls the function... Quite confusing sometimes these paths in php...
