Echo dirname / Directory path

[ytregnn]

I have a problem with a script that I bought. I'm trying to put the files in a different directory (different from the original) and for some reason I receive an error message saying; ” File(../../poll/Poll.php) is not within the allowed path(s)”.

I've received this answer from the programmer of the script:

"Place a file test.php in your Poll directory with the following code:

<?php echo dirname(_FILE_); ?>

Call this file from your browser, and that path that is shown is the absolute path to the Poll directory."

I'm unsure what he means by "call the file from my browser" but jumped to the conclusion that it meant accessing the file from the browser. When I do so there's nothing shown; path or anything.
