Appending to include_path

Anon

Can't seem to find the answer to this one anywhere....

Wondering if it is possible to append a path to the end of an already 'populated' include_path. For example, I would like to do something like the following in an .htacces file:

php_value include_path "$inlude_path:/my/new/path"

Or do I have to use the fully expanded include_path everytime?

Thanks in advance!

You'd need to do this

$original_include_path ="original_path";

$include_path =$original_include_path."new_ include_path";

this will "append" the new_include_path to the original path thereby gicing you a new path

Thanks for your response Gary, but I think that you misunderstand what I mean...

I am trying to append a new path to the end of include_path - the path PHP uses to find files when you call include(), require(), etc. In my case, I am trying to set the variable in a .htaccess file using the php_value directive.

My problem is that the include path has already been set somewhere else (for PEAR) and I don't want to over-write this. I would also prefer it if I could use include_path as variable (as per my original post) instead of hard-coding the PEAR lib path, in case my host decides to change it.
