include works like this: if your include_path starts with ".", any
document with an "include" in it looks in it's own directory for the
included file. if it doesn't find it, it looks for the next entry in
include_path and looks there. If it can't find it anywhere, you get
the error you're seeing.
On WIN/NT, the paths are separated by semicolons, and need to include
the drive letter. So your include_path entry should look something
like this:
include_path = ".;e:\my_include_directory\"
don't forget to use quotes. PHP is capable of including files on other
servers--see the PHP manual on "include". This will answer your
questions on what include does, and then you should understand more
about why include_path is important.

| Subject: [PHP-WIN] Failed opening - NT4 SP6a, O'Reilly
| WebSite Pro 2.5,
| PHP4
|
|
| Sorry for the cross-post, but I'm getting a bit desperate
| here. I've read
| through the archives of both lists and tried the
| suggestions there, but
| nothing is helping. I continue to get:
|
| Warning: Failed opening
'\\host\share\domain-name\htdocs\formmail.php' for
inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0
I even created a page that had no PHP, just to see if I could get it
to load
(trying to remove the chance of coding errors), but got the same
problem.
include_path is blank, though I've tried several different options of
pointing to the Web root, the PHP directory and using the "." -- all
with
the same result.
doc_root is pointed to the Web root -- \\host\share\.
user_dir is blank
extension_dir is pointed to the location on the Web server where the
extensions are located -- "c:\php4\extensions\".
I should point out that the Web files are located on a separate
machine, but
the account that WebSite runs under has rights to that location.
Honestly, I've not been able to complete understand the include_path.
Why
do I need it? What am I including?
Help on this would be greatly appreciated as the client is getting
toasted
that this is not running.
Thank you.
