Slightly OT - .htaccess file question

Using PHP4. I want to append to the default "include_path" that my ISP has set up in their default php.ini. I'm told this is acheivable by creating an Apache local override file ".htaccess" with the settings in I want to override. I've checked teh PHP manula on-line (see bottom of message) but can't seem to get the syntax right - I'm assuming thats what the problem is because if I use my ".htaccess" file I get an Apache error, if I don't the page in qustion appears fine. Does anyone have example syntax (or a clear explanation) of what "php_value name value" means? Does is mean: php_value include_path /path/inc or php_value include_path "/path/inc" or include_path /path/inc .... Help appreciated. Thanks When using PHP as an Apache module, you can also change the configuration settings using directives in Apache configuration files and .htaccess files. With PHP 3.0, there are Apache directives that correspond to each configuration setting in the php3.ini name, except the name is prefixed by "php3_". With PHP 4.0, there are just a few Apache directives that allow you to change the PHP configuration settings. php_value name value This sets the value of the specified variable. php_flag name on|off This is used to set a Boolean configuration option.
