Hi,
Afaik not having a flag to also check the include path has not been added, since that part of PHP is not supposed to be messing with ini settings. However that doesnt negate that something like this is very much in need for anyone developing applications that load code on demand. For example in PEAR:MDB[2] I load extended functionality ondemand. Some goes for PEAR::DB_DataObject. With the new __autoload() we are even engouraging this more (yes obviously its not going to help you alot if in autoload you discover that the file you want to include is missing, as you are going to have a fatal error eitherway. However that way you could point more clearily to the issue and also it may be that there are several locations where the source could be located). Obviously you can hack around this and essentially all of the above examples are likely to do just that (note that using fopen() to hack around this is not a good idea, but this shows that having a flag for the include path is not that far fetched).
regards, Lukas
