define root folder going wrong when config file placed out of root folder

In my config.php I defined the root folder as 

define('ROOT_DIR', str_replace('\\', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '../')) . '/');

which is

c:/xampp/htdocs/myWebsite/

For security purpose I moved my config.php file outside the root and placed it on a folder config.

The problem is, now the root_dir which was earlier

c:/xampp/htdocs/myWebsite

becomes

c:/xampp/htdocs/config /

How do I keep the config.php where it is now (after moving it away from the root) and yet have the root folder be/shown as

c:/xampp/htdocs/myWebsite/

After lots of hit and try I finally used this code of line to define my ROOT DIR this way

define('ROOT_DIR', str_replace('\', '/', realpath(dirname(FILE) . '/../')).'/public_html/', false );

it seems to be working fine on a live server.

Check if this works:

define('ROOT_DIR',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/myWebsite/");
