include .php file in folder above

I am receiving this error

Warning: include(../config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/soizastu/public_html/cms/happy-api/retrieve.php on line 2

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '../config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/soizastu/public_html/cms/happy-api/retrieve.php on line 2

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'soizastu'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/soizastu/public_html/cms/happy-api/retrieve.php on line 6
Error connecting to database.

basically in the cms folder is config.php i thought include "../config.php"; would do the trick but it dosent appear so.

Just define the absolute path for the cms folder, in this case if the caller script (which you try to include the config.php) /home/soizastu/public_html/cms/happy-api/retrieve.php. Then write on top line of retrieve.php :

define('ABSPATH',dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/');

and include the config.php by write :

require(ABSPATH . 'config.php');

Make sure that the user you're using to run your web server can read the file. For a sanity check, chmod the file to 665. If it's a Windows system, then make it so that Everyone can read the file.

Try computing the absolute path and including that. 

include(dirname(__FILE__)."/../config.php");

I think it's the safest bet when dealing with multiple levels of include.

This should work include('../config.php');
