You could use document root ("$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"). But that only applies if your app is installed as the only app in the base directory on the web server. If you are running the app in a sub directory, that you need to adjust for that. However, this will make the app less portable as you cannot change the directory easily without having to modify codes.

Based on your example, it seems that you are running Magento, with Magento, you can use "Mage::getBaseDir" method to get the base directory of Magento and relative the include file from that.

That would work, you just have to count the slashes to make sure it's the same as before. However, you can also create a symbolic link in your magento\app\design\frontend\default\template\catalog\product\ directory that points to magento\blog\wp-blog-header.php.

ln -s magento\blog\wp-blog-header.php wp-blog-header.php would do the trick then you can just: include ("wp-blog-header.php");

You can also reference $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] in your include.

Personally I would go from root up, not all of this ../../ jazz:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/path-to-include-file");

You sure the wordpress header is compatable with magento? Could face some horrible anomalies there.
