note 36194 added to function.set-include-path

You can append (or prepend, with proper changes) a directory to your include path and preserve the original one this way: <?php $new_include_dir = "/home/user/php_includes"; print get_include_path() . "\n"; set_include_path(get_include_path() . ":" . $new_include_dir); print get_include_path() . "\n"; ?> Output is: .:/usr/local/lib/php .:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/user/php_includes Just remember that directories are separated by ':' ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36194 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36194&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36194&report=yes
