I assume you are trying to find the file instead of asking about how to do read and write operations in PHP.
Two approaches since it doesn't appear that you are trying to get above the document root.
First is to use a relative path. Say you are in the folder /Foo/Bar/Bletch and you want to read a file in /Foo/etc called config.ini. You would open "../../etc/config.ini"
The second works if your server is a *nix operating system and you have shell access. Simply create a symbolic link from the current folder to the file.
$ ln -s ../../etc/config.ini config.ini
.. means the parent folder.
