I have the following dir structure:

/app
    /controlers
    /models
    /views
    init.php
    config.php
/www
    index.php

/www/index.php code to call the init file:

include_once '../app/init.php';

Then in /app/init.php I have:

require_once 'config.php';
require_once 'routes.php';

For some reason the config.php file is not loading. If I rename it to config2.php and change the include, it is all good. When I switch back to the original name though, it's ignored again. Is there any chance the file name is reserved somehow?

I'm using Apache coming with XAMPP.

When you want to include a file from the same directory use

require_once './config.php';
require_once './routes.php';

or

require_once __DIR__.'/config.php';
require_once __DIR__./'routes.php';

otherwise a file with same name from your include_path may get included instead...
