To answer your other question (sorry I missed it before) - use the
superglobals. A way which is only dependent on the location relative to
your server root directory (and not the location of the file calling it,
for instance) is

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/logbooks/CAA001/blahblah.txt'.

dirname(__FILE__) is a very bad way to to it - it is dependent on the
location of the script opening the file and will break if you move the
script to a different directory.
