I think you want
require 'daten/menu.data';
No, you can't go up two directories and back down, or you'd be able to go
down into other people's web-sites, and that would be bad. You can go up
only as far as your own site.

Subject: path error while calling files
> Hello.
> I am reading in text files in a php-script and am getting path errors.

> I have set the php-path in php.ini to

> /home/web/public_html/cgi-bin/chanet/daten/. I use the path
> ../../cgi-bin/chanet/daten/ to call the files (the reason for leaving
> the directory twice is that I have another place where my webpage is

> I get the following error:
