My include_path value on my php.ini instance (which
works) is:

include_path = ".:/usr/local/php4/lib"

That's almost identical to my PHP 5 setting (include_path
= ".:/usr/local/php5/lib/php").  I've also tried setting
my include_path in my test code using:

ini_set("include_path", "/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs");

The only thing that changes is my error:

Warning: include(../extension.inc) [function.include]:
failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php
on line 4

Warning: include() [function.include]:
Failed opening '../extension.inc' for inclusion (include_path='/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs')
in /home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php on line 4

Note the change of the include_path value. 

I have used diff to compare my v4 php.ini and v5 php.ini
files.  The major difference is that PHP v4 is running in safe_mode
whereas PHP v5 is not.  However, I have attempted to switch my PHP
v5 instance into safe_mode with the same results.

Would you mind sharing your configure command?  I'd
like to compare it with the ones I've tried (I backup my configure lines
as well)

Thanks in advance.

^^^this directive is not set correctly - it looks like the 
default values to me. Maybe you need to check the 
include_path value for the previous version of PHP.

include("/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/extension.inc")

You may need to set that option in your php.ini file, so it 
is a standard include path.

I use ../../ all over the place on PHP 5.2.1 - the only 
complaints I get from PHP is if I have not set the include 
path correctly.

I compile php myself, and use a copy of the configuration 
file for the previous version. I make backups as well, just 
in case I need them.

You could also use a GUI-based file comparison utility (like 
KDiff3) if Solaris has one, to compare both php.ini files 
from PHP4 and the new PHP5. This will highlight right away 
any differences in those two files.
