Translation: A PHP command is using a relative path (i.e. "../folder/file) to access a file in a parent folder rather than the full actual path.

Most PHP installs block access to files in parent folders via relative path for security reasons. It makes it harder for malicious scripts to take over a box.

Thanks for the reply Toby, of course those scripts being run to try and manipulate any vulnerabilities are far too commonplace
