php include_path

there are some previous posts about this but none seem to resolve the issue...

trying to put all of my php includes in a common folder and use include_path to set a common path from any directory...

set include_path in .htacces, then found that that doesnt work for php run as CGI (dammit eh?)... then tried using a custom php.ini file since we cannot access our main php.ini file (correct?)... still, no lovin.

even set AllowOverride Options in .ini

any ideas?

general fomat used:
php_value include_path ".:/home/user/site_alias/inc/"

The easiest solution is to run PHP as an Apache module instead of CGI. This is what I do. I want to be able to set half a dozen or so PHP options, so I need the ability to do it via .htaccess.

Another way would be to use ini_set() at the top of all your files.

You could have tried set_include_path() as well.
