Aiight... in my scripts my includes arent being included. Ive tried altering my PHP.ini file but when i go back and check the values are back to their original state.

This ini is located in xampp/php ,is there a second file ini file hidden in Xammp.

Code: Select all

Directive -       Local Value   -           Master Value
allow_url_include   - Off                    -          Off
include_path       - .;\xampp\php\PEAR     -       .;\xampp\php\PEAR

why does the include path point to PEAR?

I dont know exactly why you need to change the include path but you should try adding it in apache vhost. Here is an example

Code: Select all


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin postmaster@example.com
    DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs/example.com/htdocs/www/"
    ServerName example.com
   
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    ErrorLog "/xampp/htdocs/example.com/logs/error.log"
    CustomLog "/xampp/htdocs/example.com/logs/access.log" combined
   <Directory "/xampp/htdocs/example.com/htdocs/www/">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
      AllowOverride All
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
   <IfModule php5_module>
      php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
      php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/xampp/htdocs/example.com/tmp/"
                php_admin_value include_path "/path/to/include/"
   </IfModule>   
</VirtualHost>

Change what you need but everything works for me. In the php.ini you should add or edit

Code: Select all

include_path = ".:/php/includes"

Its also pointed to PEAR by default so thats common.

my freaking includes were not parsing... needed to figure out why they werent

1st: what kind of include file? php include? Apache include?
2nd: why don't you show us one of the failed include in your sourcecode? Shall i ask my crystal ball?

Depends on the XAMPP version. XAMPP 1.7.3 does only have 1 php.ini

Because PEAR is part of the XAMPP package
