Uncaught require_once(): failed to open stream

I'm having the following error when trying to require_one a file:

Uncaught require_once(../web/common/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I'm calling trying to make this require from a file that is inside a folder called 'tests' that's at the same level of the folder 'web'. From what I see, by using ../ I'm going to the same level of both folders, and then by calling /web... I was able to get to the file I need.

My folder structure is the following:

The require is called from dbTest.php

What's missing?

The path used is the path of the main file, not the path your include file 'dbTest.php.

To prevent issues like that, make it an absolute path using the __DIR__ constant:

require_once(__DIR__ . '/../web/common/config.php');

That ('magic') constant always contains the path of the file that uses it.
