php: assign $var to 1 folder above.

Hi all =)

If i have a .php in a folder,
/path/to/install/my.php

and in the .php, it has the following

PHP Code:


			
$config['path'] = dirname(__FILE__).'/';

config['path] will be assigned as /path/to/install/
as you would see if you echo config['path'];

However, is there a way to assign it one directory above ? so that config['path'] would be
/path/to/
?

Thanks.

According to the manual you can do

PHP Code:


			
$config['path'] = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/';

dirname and basname treat directories as files.
