title: file_get_contents is not finding a file that exists
body: <p>I have a file that I'd like another script to access using <code>file_get_contents</code></p>
  
  <p>The file I'd like it to access is in the directory above it, so I'm using <code>file_get_contents('../file.php?this=that')</code></p>
  
  <p>However, it's returning <code>No such file or directory</code> and I can't understand why. The file is there.</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming it has something to do with it being a local file rather than a remote. Any ideas or workarounds?</p>
