In PHP what is optimal filepath reference method on webserver
<p>When including other files in your PHP scripts, what is faster for webserver to process:</p>

<pre><code>include 'http://www.mydomain.com/bin/scripts/thescript.php';
</code></pre>

<p>OR</p>

<pre><code>include '/home/user/public_html/bin/scripts/thescript.php';
</code></pre>

<p>OR</p>

<pre><code>include '../../scripts/thescript.php';
</code></pre>

<p>OR is there really no practical difference in the real world?</p>

<p>This is not an academic question. If all three methods are equally satisfactory in real time, please tell me. That's all I need to know.</p>
