No, you are going through the webserver, which isn't a local filesystem, it's
remote, no matter if the server is running on your machine or someone elses
machine.

If your prompt in the dos-console say:

c:\

and the file is in

c:\xitami-25\app\public_html

and you execute the file

php.exe c:\xitami-25\app\public_html\test.php

then you are executing the script from another location than where the script
is located, which makes that the file title.php isn't found as it's not in c:\

but if you change directory so that you are in

c:\xitami-25\app\public_html

and execute the script with

php.exe test.php

then you have the file test.php in the same directory where you execute the
php and then you can find the file.
