Step Down A Level

Is it possible in php to step down a level i.e. from a folder. so:

Stepping Up

include(/inc/connect.php);

is there away to go from lets say the inc folder back down to lower folder or to another folder form that one.

I think it would be somethnig like:
Try it, it might be .../ or ..\ ?

It's ../ whenever I've done it.

it's ../ for each level.

a file in root/inc/content who wants to access a folder in root would be include(../../file.ext);

Alright thanks everybody.

../ goes up 1 directory.
../ goes up 2 directories
-- etc

Also, if you ever need to execute a file on a Linux server (you may wish to do this in PHP some time), you will need to do ./filename. That doesn't go up a directory, but it's the classic Unix-style of doing things
