When I use ../mysqlConnect.php I get the following messages.

Warning: require_once(../mysqlConnect.php) [function.require-once]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/etc...  

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 
'../mysqlConnect.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/etc...    

When I use the directory name - mydir/mysqlConnect.php - everything works fine.
