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

[eppintab@googlemail.com]

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.
