Calling simplex.class.php with file in different directory

This should be a very simple problem, but I am unable to load a .xlsx file down the directory tree by one. It works for my other function calls.

$xlsx = new SimpleXLS("filetoload"); //works fine

but
$xlsx = new SimpleXLS("./docs/filetoload");
or
$xlsx = new SimpleXLS("docs/filetoload");


do not. What am I missing?

1) try
echo getcwd();
---- get current work directory and correct path to your xlsx file

or

2) use abs path
$filename = dirname(__FILE__).'/docs/mahesh_try_google_first.xlsx';
$xlsx = new SimpleXLSX( $filename );
