include_path

[turbo99]

I recently put together a FreeBSD box (4.7). I want to add a folder to the include_path but not sure if I am changing the right php.ini file.

I found under my /usr/local/etc there is the php.ini-dist file. I found the section on paths and includes but the include_path is commented out. I did phpinfo() and the include_path shows .:/usr/local/lib/php/.

Where do I go to append the path?

Thanks in advance.

you found the file...

just edit it and save it as php.ini, to the location specified in the file (/usr/local/lib/php).

be sure that your directory is protected appropriately.

restart your webserver.

that should work. good luck.

I've never used FreeBSD, but on WIndows you have to restart the whole machine, and not just the webserver to get the php.ini file to be read.
