Re: include_path and absolute paths in include functions

For years I was lulled into thinking I understood php include functions... I have always used relative paths in my include and related functions, for instance: include_once ("lib/included.php");

this is what should work given you ini path. maybe check the file permissions are in order.

However, I am now needing to switch to absolute paths: include_once ("/lib/included.php");

why do you need to do that? that include will bypass the include_path and only look in the /lib dir on your machine - which is not what you want I think. ...
