Include path and include() function is different things. Include path: this is paths where PHP will look for files tried to be included if it doesn't exist in script directory. If you do include("afile.php") and afile.php doesn't exist in the same directory as where your script that is calling the include is. Then it will first look in . /include /usr/lib/php Take a look here http://www.php.net/include to read more about the include function in PHP.
