Personally I never understood why we've set_include_path in the first place anyway. "ini_set('include_path', ..." does exactly the same and the C function does actually exactly this.
Short history lesson: The reason for set_include_path() is that many shared hosters disable ini_set(), yet many libraries/apps depend on users being able to control their include path.
Fair enough. I think I feel pretty lucky that I've never had to operate in such environments ... On the other hand I feel unqualified taking a position here either then :) thanks, - Markus
