dynamically include header.php file that hold js and css resources

Question

I have a question about the inclusion of an header file using PHP.

The code above is the header that I include in all my HTML/PHP view files. I want to save it inside a file called as a naming convention header.php .
My doubt is about the resources loading.

How I can load the needed stylesheets and js files if the header is included from another folder that isn't the same that hold the main css and js folders?

I want to avoid the duplication of the basic resources, and avoid having console errors due to the position of the resources files.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">
<head>
<!-- basic meta tag -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="author" content="" />
<!-- add facebook og tag here -->
<meta property="og:url" content="" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
<!-- <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://masserianobile.it; font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com/; img-src 'self'; style-src 'self' https://fonts.googleapis.com/;">  -->

Here is what I use to autoload my PHP classes for any nested directory, this can work for your Front-End resources too:

<?php

/* the root directory of your project
   can be useful when working on local env
   must not end with a slash, leave it empty if not needed */
const ROOT_PATH = '/projects/some_stuff';

// Get parts of the URL without the root path
$rel_path = explode('/', str_replace(ROOT_PATH, '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));

// Remove empty items from the parts
$rel_path = array_filter($rel_path);

// If the last part is a php file, remove it, we don't need it
if (strpos(end($rel_path), '.php') !== false) { array_pop($rel_path); }

// Build the "../" prefix
$prefix = implode('/', array_fill(0, count($rel_path), '..'));
$prefix = empty($prefix) ? '' : $prefix . '/';

?>

<!-- just output the prefix before the resource URL -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $prefix; ?>css/bootstrap.min.css" type="text/css">

Documentation:

$_SERVER Server and execution environment information
array_filter() Filters elements of an array using a callback function
end() Set the internal pointer of an array to its last element
array_pop() Pop the element off the end of array
array_fill() Fill an array with values
