Answer: quite simple
// PARENT DIR: dirname(dirname($path_to_file))
# parent to current file
dirname(dirname(__FILE__))
# parent to document root (outside web tree)
dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])
# parent to current file
dirname(dirname(__FILE__))
# parent to document root (outside web tree)
dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])
