That would work as well. What I did is use this
dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])
in the start file and assigned the output to a session variable. It 
basically gives me the "root" of my entire folder set. This way I can 
always extend the path if needed. Using getcwd will work fine when I deal 
only with things that are in my current directory. In the described case, 
that is so, but I know for sure that I will need the path to point to some 
place that is down a different tree from the root.

Thanks for the tip.
