Include Path

[Anon]

Hi,
I just installed php-4.0.2 (upgraded from php3). For some reason i cannot include files anymore using require.

when ever i try to include a file it complains about the path. I have changed the configuration in the php.ini and it works only for the current directory but ... what if i want to create a subdirectory called classes on my site? do i need to change the php.ini to add this new location?

I also tried using the entire path to the file.

any thoughts ?

thanks in advance

David
