Assume that we have the following directory structure:

Document Root

  • DirectoryA
    • file1.php
    • file2.php
    • file3.php
    • file4.php
    • file5.php
  • DirectoryB
    • index.php

Now, Assuming that we want to call file(1-5).php in index.php which is in DirectoryB, we can use the following approach:

Contents of index.php:

<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../DirectoryA/file1.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../DirectoryA/file2.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../DirectoryA/file3.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../DirectoryA/file4.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../DirectoryA/file5.php');
?>

In the above example, $_SERVER gets the DOCUMENT_ROOT asset in the configuration for the given site and then performs actions relative to it, i.e.: /../ takes to the parent folder and then we add the relative path to file.
