php include path

[KarterJK]

I have set up a new user, example

www.domain.com

can they put all of their php files in the cgi-bin folder, so when they do a

include 'whatever.php'; from within a php file

it will it automatically search the cgi-bin folder and run?

Thanks ahead of time

Not 100% sure, but they may be able to add something to this effect in their .htaccess in their DocumentRoot

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value include_path = ".:/path/to/cgi-bin"
</IfModule>

lol
stupid me all i had to do was test it in the cgi-bin folder (which didnt work)

If I add your suggestion to the htaccess file
will that change the php include path for the whole system
or does it just add it as a path

I am reluctant to try it for fear of breaking something

thanks for the reply

If you add it to just the users homedirectory/public_html it will only take effect for that domain.
Try it and see if it works... if it fails remove it.
