EXAMPLES
Example #1
set_include_path(3) example
<?php
// Works as of PHP 4.3.0
set_include_path('/usr/lib/pear');
// Works in all PHP versions
ini_set('include_path', '/usr/lib/pear');
?>
Example #2
Adding to the include path
Making use of the PATH_SEPARATOR constant, it is possible to extend the include path regardless of the operating system.
In this example we add /usr/lib/pear to the end of the existing include_path.
<?php
$path = '/usr/lib/pear';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);
?>
