Why can't I navigate to parent directory for a PHP function?

from ~/functions/mysql.functions.inc.php
<?php

function Parse_MySQL_INI_Settings_File()
{
$MySQL_Settings = parse_ini_file('../mysql_settings.ini', true);

return $MySQL_Settings;
}

?>

~/mysql_settings.ini exists

Why doesn't ../mysql_settings.ini work? If I move the ini file to the
functions dir, it works.

For some strange reason it works now. Maybe file permissions.
