> how do I give something the filepath of a folder that proceeded it?

Not sure exactly what you mean here but consider 

    getcwd()
    http://www.php.net/manual/function.getcwd.php

This "gets the current working directory" and may help your quest.  If you
want something else, load up phpinfo() and have a look at the
available 'predefined variables' on server, there are many.

    http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.predefined.php

ANd if it needs to be taken apart, explode() it.  Oh, there is another
function that may actually be what you want, it is called dirname :

    http://php.net/manual/function.dirname.php

Maybe if you stick getcwd in it it'll provide desired results.  So many
options, so little time, so many words, so unsure what you're wanting :-)
Look around here :

    http://php.net/manual/ref.filesystem.php

Sorry this post is getting HUGE.

Good luck!
