How about the environment variable $DOCUMENT_ROOT (you may need to access as
$GLOBALS[DOCUMENT_ROOT] depending on your code). Put <?php phpinfo(); ?> in
a webpage to see all of the goodies available to you. I personally prefer
to keep the bulk of my PHP code outside the document root, in a directory
parallel to it. I define a constant INC_PATH typically parallel to the
document root using code similar to the following:
// Set INC_PATH.
ereg( "(.*)web_directory.*", $SCRIPT_FILENAME, $regs );
define( "INC_PATH", $regs[1] . "inc_directory/" );
Then I include files as follows:
include( INC_PATH . "inc_common.php" );
Very portable.

This isn't very portable anyway. You don't want to have to change paths if
you move a file to a deeper subdirectory.
