sorry, could someone who is better at php than me help out with a location statement

I have the php file in the same directory but I want to put it somewhere else, cgi-bin

I cant get the absolute path to work with includes, how can I get it to find the directory...

e.g.
www/a/this.html (php was in this directory)
www/cgi/thephp.php (point to here)

I tried, includes('absolute path'); not working
but all others I tried dont work, but the script in the same directory is working, so its not the file.
