i need a way to get the path to the parent folder of the folder i am in. one "dirty" way i found is this -

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
             ".."              . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
             "config.php");

i can also explode() and reassemble all folders except the last, but this looks also dirty...

is there a direct way?

There's nothing dirty about dirname(), and for your issue, just call it twice:

dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
