relative v. absolute paths [message #173275]

I have a php file that when I include it from my homepage, I specify:

require_once './library/php/head.php';

head.php itself includes another php file in the middle of its text:

require_once './library/php/javascript.php';

That works and is all well and good.

However, if I then try to use head.php from other php files in
subdirectories, then the path to javascript.php is no longer valid and
fails.

If I were to specify an absolute path to javascript.php, it should
work from any other location.

I'm a beginner at PHP so I have always abided by the idea that all php
files should be included with a relative path. Is this always true?

If so, is there a better way to do this? Thanks a bunch.
