use of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

I'm working on a large intranet group site with a lot of pages, file types,
folders, subfolders, etc. I am using the include ('../includes/file.php') ,
but I would like to have a single snippet that will work for all .php/.html
pages in all subfolders. I have seen the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
indicated as a way to access the root of the website without using ../ for
each folder you have to pass up through. However, I cannot get this to work
for me. I've seen recommendations for it's use in FAQs, etc. online, they
all seem to be a little bit different, but none of the formats (assign to a
variable, etc.) work for me. We're using PHP 4.3.2

Can someone give me some guidance on the use of this?

Thanks,
Chris
