note 30397 added to function.include

is it at all possible to define a specific include path for a directory, and all subdirectories, through apache, WITHOUT changing the php.ini? because it would be very useful for me, because i failed to include a "./" infront of all include paths, so a file in /install/ including "install/config.php" would not include. i believe if i set the include path to be "./" or whatever the physical directory is, it will work. however, is this possible to be done WITHOUT using a .htaccess file? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30397 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30397 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30397
