Require once path doesn't set properly

When I echo my path:

echo __DIR__ . '\..\functions\sanitize.php';

I get this:

C:\xampp\htdocs\website\php\core\..\functions\sanitize.php

But it has to be like this:

C:\xampp\htdocs\website\php\functions\sanitize.php

Why doesn't my path go one step back? It doesn't let me get out of the core folder.

What went wrong?
