Good stuff. For future reference it's generally a really bad idea to rely
on assuming what the current directory will be, so you should always base
directories off a known point such as the directory of the current script
[dirname(__FILE__) or __DIR__ in 5.3+] or a globally defined absolute
directory [which should also ideally come from dirname() or __DIR__].
