There is an include_path for unix and an include_path for windows. They both differ slightly but aren't of the same value that is being returned in the php info page or the error that I am receiving. This is the info displayed for my php.ini file. My OS is on G:. G:\WINDOWS\php.ini This is the Include_path directory shown in the phpinfo page. .;c:\php4\pear Thanks very much for your help on this. Let me know if you need me to post anything else that might help. -----Original Message----- From: Ford, Mike [LSS] [mailto:M.Ford@lmu.ac.uk] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 7:18 PM To: 'Bruce Levick' Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: include_path problem On 03 September 2003 01:32, Bruce Levick contributed these pearls of wisdom: > Well yes I have restarted my webserver, and the php.ini file > is under the > "windows directory" (shown in phpinfo page) and I am > definatelty editing it. > > The current value for my include_path is ".;c:\php\includes" > which is different to whats showing up on the phpinfo page and > also > the error that is > coming up. > > The wierd thing is I can change anything else in the php.ini > file and it > updates on the phpinfo page.

Couple more stabs in the dark, then: - Check there is only one entry for include_path. - Make sure it's not commented out! (No ; at the start of the line.) Also, just to be absolutely sure, can you post exactly what your phpinfo shows for the php.ini setting? Cheers!
