defining web root in php for all files access

i've been trying to get a work around for this: in a file structure like this:

root:
-----index.php (file inside root)
-----template (folder inside root)
-----user (folder inside root)
-----products  (folder inside root)
-----config  (folder inside root)

i've been trying to use dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) inside a file in the config folder to define webroot constant but it is not working well, if i try to access the files from other folders, it's calling webroot from the current folder instead of going back to the root. pls can any1 help me with the code/logic for defining web root in a situation like this. thanks.

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] - define some constant with what's here and away you go.

You can use "define":

define('ROOT', '/home/username/public_html/');

Then, in any page that the page this is defined in is included:

echo ROOT;
