I think that '../../../' is something like a string maybe in another part of the script this string was declared.

there is only one file for this script.. So what you mean?

I don't remember much about Linux, but I think that '..' means "Go Back", lets say your script is in "(root)/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/script.php", using "../../.." means go back 3 folders, so the config.php should be in
"(root)/folder1/config/config.php"

@up so lets say config is located in "var/www/config/config.php" & this file im using is located in "var/www/etc/etc2/script.php" then it means the path in script.php should be "../../config/config.php" or "../../../config/config.php"?

Thanks scarlet for your support though, Would be glad if you could answer this also.

you want to go 2 folders back, so its the first option
"../../config/config.php"
