How do I get a php script to dynamically change.

How do I get a php script to dynamically change. Example I am trying to test my php files on a prod-server.
In the inetpub/wwwroot on the server I have the following folders.
Dev_Main
Upgrade_Main
Main
In each of these folders I have sub-directories.
What do I need to put in my code to let the php know regardless of where it resides it should stay in the folder and sub directory that it is being called from.
The only time I want to jump out of that sub-directory is if I am trying to return to home which would be a php in another sub-directory.

<html>
<title>Upgrade Add Employer</title>
<head>
<?php
//INCLUDE THE NECESSARY FILES
require_once("c:/php/pear/configtest.php"); 
require("c:/php/pear/functions.php");
?>
<base href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER; ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="\images\webapps.css" />
<?php 
$containing_dir = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
$folder=(substr(substr(getenv('SCRIPT_NAME'),1),0,stripos(substr(getenv('SCRIPT_NAME'),1),"/")));
if (isset($_COOKIE['USERID'])==false)
{
if (isset($_COOKIE['Upgrade_MAIN']))
{echo("<script language=JavaScript>window.location.href='/<?=$containing_dir?>/Home.php?error=1';</script>");}
else
{echo("<script language=JavaScript>window.location.href='/<?=$containing_dir?>/Employer_Home.php?error=1';</script>");}
}
?>

Not sure I'm following you - whatever folder the script is in is the working folder

Sorry I should have pointed what I needed more clearly. If you look at line 45 in the code I have a reference that knows to look for the php in the current folder that it resides in.

Now if you look at line 50 and 52 I have those coded with the same variable as line 45 but what truly should happen at line 50 and 52 is it should look in another folder (stepping out of the current directory) to get the home.php

So line 45 is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Upgrade_B and 50 and 52 are c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Upgrade_Main. But I dont want to hardcode the name of the directories for it to traverse properly. So that way when I copy the code to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\B and c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Main there will be nothing needed to due because everything will not be hardcoded it will dynamically know what to do.

Hoping that is clearer???
