In the config directory I have some basic stuff like constants that I define for the site (eg/ db.php for the database constants such as username, server, etc...). Referencing this with the following php from index.php works fine:

You have the super global $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], so you can use
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/config/db.php';
ypu can also us the include_path in php.ini and add the path to the
document root in which case you then can use:
require_once 'config/db.php';
