I am running a script from

/wp-content/themes/currenttheme/chat.php

I want to include in the above php another one located in

/forum/chat/index.php

The index.php includes its own files

I already tried

`$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

include($root."/forum/chat/index.php");`

but I get this error

`Warning: require(D:/My Dropbox/xampp/htdocs/lib/custom.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum\chat\index.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:/My Dropbox/xampp/htdocs/lib/custom.php' (include_path='.;\My Dropbox\xampp\php\PEAR') in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum\chat\index.php on line 17`

(the index.php also includes some files, but the /forum is ommited somehow in the path)

then I tried

`$path = getcwd();

$myfile = "/forum/chat/index.php";

include ($path.$myfile);`

and got this error:

`Warning: include(D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum/forum/chat/index.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\currenttheme\chat.php on line 24
