How can I include files with a different directory in php?

For example, I have a folder named sample and inside it are two folders sample1 and sample2... inside sample1 is sample1.php and inside sample2 is sample2.php... How can I include sample1.php in sample2.php... Any help is highly appreciated... thanks...

Learn simple html. Relative vs Absolute links i think.

Im not quite getting your question though or you might just be talking about the php function
include

Simplest way, as far as I know:

require_once('../sample1/sample1.php');
-- or --
include('../sample1/sample1.php');

Depending on the contents and purpose of sample1.php

Search php.net for the functions 'include' and 'require'
