I have the following file structure

-- Plugins
-- inParent.php
---- Uploadify
------ inSame.php
------ Uploadify.php

This function was working smoothly till yesterday. But now, If I try to include the inParent.php in uploadify.php using require_once('../inparent.php), It giving me a silly error..saying...

Warning: require_once(../inParent.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/plugins/uploadify/uploadify.php on line 3

But the file definitely exists...

The same code when used to include inSame.php shows no error and works perfectly..

I guessed that there could be file permission problem.. But everything is fine..all the related files have 755/644 permissions.

Also, the move_uploaded_file function has also stopped working.

All the code was working fine till yesterday. I hav'nt changed anything.

I have tried everything and dont know what exactly happened..

Please help me friends.. :( :(

I've googled and found this : require_once __DIR__.'/../inParent.php';
