Joomla current path

I have Joomla Component administrator/components/com_mycomp

And I have import.php file in this folder.

How I can access import.php from com_mycomp.php.

require_once('./import.php');

Gives error file not found. Because current path is /administrator , instead of administrator/components/com_mycomp.

use JPATH_BASE; 

<?php
    require_once(JPATH_BASE.'/directory/subdirectory/import.php'); 
 ?>

Best way is to use Joomla constants, use

JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR - The path to the administrator folder.

or

JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR - The path to the administration folder of the current component being executed.

for more refer- https://docs.joomla.org/Constants

Let me know if still face any issue.

The easiest way is to use PHP's __DIR__ constant, that always points to the current file's directory.

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/import.php';
