I'm trying to include a file in a page. The file is located in a folder called phpThumb which is placed inside my wordpress theme directory.  

This is how I tried to include the file"

`<?php require_once(get_bloginfo('template_url')."/phpThumb/phpThumb.config.php"); ?>`

For some reason, this doesn't work.  

I did check and `get_bloginfo()` **returns** a value and does not **echo** a value.  

I triple checked the code for validity and it's all fine IMO...

What could possibly be wrong?

P.S ; It worked using `$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']` but the output of it is dependent on the current page (correct me if I'm wrong) so it's not as efficient for me.
