$PHP_SELF before inclide !??

[The4s]

I have to files includer.php adn inc.php and I am including inc.php within includer.php, inc.php opens a file that is located in its folder: fopen("file", "r"); but when i include inc.php in includer.php this code wont work because he'll search the file in the folder of includer.php. Now how can i get the location of inc.php before it is included ?

i can do this in includer.php:
$path = "includes/dir/incme";
include($path/inc.php);

and in inc.php to use:
fopen("$path/file", "r");

BUT I want to make it with only
include("includes/dir/incme/inc.php"); in includer.php.

Any suggestions ?

Erm... you want to include several includes in one include, then include that in another script?

What do the fopen'ed file contain?

You don't understand me. I am making a script and I want users to be just needed to add an include("includes/dir/incme/inc.php"); on their pages and inc.php to open the file in its directory but how ca inc.php understand where it is located ?

Hmmm...
Like this?

<?PHP
$misself = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$pos = strrpos($misself, "/");
$dirpath = substr($misself, 0, $pos);
fopen("$dirpath/file", "r");
## and do the file-stuff ##
?>

but when i include this it won't work because the $PHP_SELF will be the $PHP_SELF of the includer.php not the inc.php 🙁
