__DIR__ not working for a php include

I am trying to use php includes to link one .php file to another. The structure is this:

ROOT
¦
+---templates
¦   ¦
¦   +---footer.php
¦
¦
+---main
    ¦
    +---maps
        ¦
        +---uk
            ¦
            +---map.php

Using <?PHP include "../../../templates/navbar.php"; ?> the code links absolutely fine.

Using either <?PHP include dirname(__FILE__) . "../../../templates/navbar.php"; ?>

or <?PHP include __DIR__ . "../../../templates/navbar.php"; ?> gets me absolutely nothing. What am I missing? Thanks.

__DIR__ doesn't include the trailing / in directory name, so <?PHP include __DIR__ . "/../../../templates/navbar.php"; ?> is what you need.
