You mean something like
include '/foo.php'; ?
The document root of the webserver ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) and the
root of the server's file system are two completely different things.
The above statement would look for the file in the server's physical
root directory, where no normal user should have write access - it's a
system-only area. The webserver's root directory is usually something
like '/home/username/public_html', where you can do whatever you want.
