The first thing to note is that, if possible you shouldn't put include files
within the document root. But lets assume you don't have a choice.
So your include path has
/cgi-bin/includes
So if we assume there are some files as follows:
/cgi-bin/includes/PayPal/pp.inc
/cgi-bin/includes/PayPal/Stuff/cc.inc
then you can certainly write your script as:
<?php
include("PayPal/pp.inc");
However as you may have noticed, this won't work too well if pp.inc
contains:
include("stuff/cc.inc");
(side note if pp.inc contains 'include("cc.inc");' then walk away carefully
deleting all files as you go).
Simplest solution is to move all the files up a dir:
cd Paypal
mv * ..
One other solution is to add /cgi-bin/includes/PayPal to your include path.
Another way is to rewrite the files to use relative addressing, e.g. in
pp.inc:
$mydir=dirname(__FILE__);
$include_file=$mydir . "/stuff/pp.inc";
include($include_file);
