For some reason this path works perfectly on one developer's machine

```
include dirname(__FILE__) . '/../includes/init.php';

```

But on my machine I have to remove the '/..' section for it to work.

```
include dirname(__FILE__) . '/includes/init.php';

```

I suspect this is linked other issues with the application on my machine.

Why is this occurring and what can I change to get it working like it does on the original developer's machine?
