See the ini_set function: <http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php> Something like: ini_set('include_path', '/whatever/path/you/need/here:.'); One problem with relative paths is that if you want to include a file at several levels in the hierarchy, each include call needs to be different. If your web host allows you to use .htaccess files and gives you override permissions, you can put this in the .htaccess file at the top level of your server. php_value include_path '/whatever/path/you/need/here:.'
