Here's a suggestion:

in index.php (or what ever your bootstrap file is):

Code:

define( 'ROOT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));

then, just use that constant:

Code:

require_once ROOT_DIR . '/abcd/lib.php';

If you don't use a bootstrap file, then you will have problems, and then you'd better do something like:

Code:

define('ROOT_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'your_app_dir');

Go figure which way works better for you and stick to that.
