Can't include php class

Question

This is my directory structure:

classes
- myphpclass.php
controller
- controller.php
index.php

Now, I want to include myphpclass.php in my controller, but I don't know how to path it.

I'm trying something like include('classes/myphpclass.php');

But I can't make it to work

I tried with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], is it the same thing ? — Carlos, Jul 09 '15 at 14:58
just echo **dirname(_FILE_)** to see if its the same thing ;) — B001ᛦ, Jul 09 '15 at 15:00

Start all paths with a forward-slash - then they are all relative to the ROOT.

include('/classes/myphpclass.php');
