Why is this?

Everytime i try to require global.php outside of forums dir. like this

PHP Code:

require ('./forums/global.php'); 

I get this error

PHP Code:

Warning: main(./admin/config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forums\global.php on line 129 

[MUG]

Use this instead:

chdir('./forums');
require('./global.php');
