Does 'fopen' work only within the same directory?

I'm trying to read a file with PHP:



--------------------


$fileToRead = "foo.txt";  //Option-1


#$fileToRead = "/home/frank/otherdir/foo.txt";  //Option-2



$dataFile = fopen($fileToRead, "r") ;


-------------------



Option-1 works but Option-2 doesn't, but 'foo.txt' is COMPULSORY within


another


directory.



What can I do? Regards.
