php require() weird conflict

Okay. I have this big folder WEBSITE in it I have classes folder , includes folder and a index.php file

->->

In the includes folder I have a config.php . This file is being required by index.php(from the main folder) like this:

require('includes/config.php');

In config.php I also have this:

 include('classes/user.php');
include('classes/phpmailer/mail.php');

The thing is when I open index.php , everything works.But if I open includes/config.php I'm getting the No such file or directory error that is obvious because normally , my path should be

include('../classes/user.php'); include('../classes/phpmailer/mail.php');

but that would end up in my index.php file not working by telling me the two includes above can't be found.

Is there a proper way in achieving what I want ?

Thank you.

Use absolute paths when including files:

 include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/classes/user.php");

or

 include(__DIR__ . "/../classes/user.php");
