I use PEAR, Solar, and Zend Framework regularly, and typically have them installed to a common directory, leaving me with a simple include_path of: .:/path/to/pear and never have a problem, even when using __autoload() (check out Zend_Loader::registerAutoload() for a PEAR-friendly spl_autoload implementation, btw). Could you please elaborate on the "include_path mess" that you're trying to solve with this? Trying making this work without setting your include path.

Honestly, if a developer can't set the include_path, s/he probably needs to read the PHP manual a bit more. However, even this can be relatively easily overcome with something like a PEAR2_Loader class; if we create methods to manipulate the include_path, it could be something like this: require_once '/path/to/PEAR2/Loader.php'; PEAR2_Loader::initIncludePath(); // Sets the include_path to

                                      // include PEAR2 based on the
                                      // location of the PEAR2_Loader
                                      // class file.

PEAR2_Loader::registerAutoload(); // Register autoload callback

                                      // with spl_autoload.

Also note that you have a mix of autoload and normal includes, which may or may not give you the minimum # of required files.

It'll almost certainly give you fewer than those loaded via allfiles.php. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney mweierophinney@gmail.com http://weierophinney.net/matthew/
