understanding php directories

Question

My database config class file is bellow

pard_config/class/Config.php

pard_config is a folder which is in the root folder.

And i have a json file which contain,host name,database,user and password details

pard_config/class/config.json

How would i include Config.json file to the Config.php file without reading it from the root.For now i'm doing it like bellow

Config.php

include("pard_config/class/config.json");

Config.json and the config.php files are in the same folder.So is there any way to read from that class folder like bellow ???

Config.php

include(config.json);

I would advice you to use a relative path and use the __DIR__ constant:

include(__DIR__ . '/config.json');

note that paths will be resolved from the script which where called in browser (or command line) .. like index.php. Therefore it will suite better in many cases to use a relative path.
