call header from subfolder

Question

I am trying to call my header.php from project_1.php. That means that I have to go back to my root. I tried with the following, but there is no CSS is called:

<?php include dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'/resources/includes/header.php'; ?>

The page is in:

root -> projects -> project_1.php

The header is in:

root -> resources -> includes -> header.php

When I call my header from a page there is in:

root -> index.php

the header is working fine. Does anybody knows how I can solve that?

Update after answers: Thank you for all the answers. I have tried the following, but with no result.

The path to the page is:

http://localhost:8888/test/projects/portfolio_single.php

The header is in:

http://localhost:8888/test/resources/includes/header.php

<?php include 'resources/includes/header.php'; ?>
<?php include '../../resources/includes/header.php'; ?>
<?php include dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'resources/includes/header.php'; ?>
<?php include dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'../resources/includes/header.php'; ?>
<?php include dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'../../resources/includes/header.php'; ?>
<?php include( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/resources/includes/header.php' ); ?>

You might be able to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] which is a string set to the web root of the current website. Do you get an error when you try to access it? — user5051310

This might be useful: php includes is there any way to include a file relative only to that document? — FirstOne

<?php include( $_SERVER['vouzalis'] . '/resources/includes/header.php' ); ?> remove vouzalis and replace with DOCUMENT_ROOT — Pradeepan M

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] only takes you to the webroot. So you need to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/vouzalis/resources/includes/header.php' — user5051310

Try this one

<?php include( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/resources/includes/header.php' ); ?>

Try using this code Each time you use "../" you go back once a folder back, so you go to root and then you can go to resources and the folders you need to go to.

include ../../resources/includes/header.php';
