Re: Setting include path to same directory as .php file.?

of course, i meant to write ini_set( 'include_path' , ini_get( 'include_path' ) . ':' . basename( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED'] ) ) BTW, if you plan to let other people use the script, you should check for the server's system first, as windows-style path separator is ';', not ':'. Maybe even translate slashes in the path to escaped backslashes if on win9x, dunno.
