Be careful not to get confused between a chrooted environment like the
web server or ftp server and php include paths. PHP handles the include
and require parameters either as absolute (eg /inc/filename is an
absolute path from / - it is not relative to the web docroot.) or
relative to the directories in the php.ini include directive. If you
want to simplify your include and require statements, specify the path
to 'inc' in php.ini and then express the paths to the included files
relative to that.
