you can inlude the file like that:
include("../../../index.php");
or:
include("C:/example/myphp/index.php");

or you can user the DOCUMENT_ROOT

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

and then add the appropriate path ..... :arrow:

if you are on the same server [localhost] then you can give the relative path of the include file depending the location of the file eg. if the file is in the DocumentRoot directory of the VirtualHost then give

include('/file.php');
