From my understanding you have: php.ini:include_path = ".:/php/includes"; The scripts you want to include are located in: /var/www/html/project/includes All you have to do is set your include_path in php.ini: include_path = "/var/www/html/project/includes:.:/php/includes"; restart webserver. Then to include the file you want, include it relative to the include_path: include('db.inc'); That will try and find a file in these locations in order: /var/www/html/projects/include/db.inc ./db.inc /php/includes/db.inc And will use the first one found. I would not suggest using ini_set() inside you're scripts to adjust your paths. Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about.
