I've searched all over the place and can't seem to find an answer for this. I'm trying to set an include path in the php.ini file of my local wamp server. I currently don't understand one of two things:
- What to put in the quotes of the include path setting itself.
For example, if I wanted to addC:\wamp\wwwas an include path, would it be
include_path = ".;C:\wamp\www\"? - Where to put the include path line. Can I put it anywhere, or do I have to put it in a specific place?
Some common errors I've read about in my research that I've checked.
- I'm editing the php.ini file located at
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8 - I've restarted the server after I've made my changes and have checked if it had updated using the
phpinfo()function.
UPDATE
This is currently what I have, but it still doesn't work.
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;C:\php\pear;C:\wamp\www"
Answer
This all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Personally, I don't edit the php.ini file directly for setting include_paths, rather I use the following construct, in code:
// This will append whichever path you would like to the current include path
// PHP is smart enough to convert / with \ if on a Windows box
// If not you can replace / with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'my/custom/path');
-- Edit --
Chances are there may be multiple copies of php.ini on your system, and that you are not editing the one that is being used by PHP.
