All:

Very experienced developer, newbie to PHP. My situation:

I have installed on my WIndows XP machine the following:
* PHP 5.2.1
* MySQL 5.0
* Apache 2.2

All of these are installed under C:\Program Files under their own
directories.

The PHP installation works fine. I can put PHP files under the Apache
htdocs directory and have them run. My challenge now is getting the
MDB2.php libraries to run - right now I am getting an MDB2.php not
found error, which I believe is due to a include_path error...

So, I have 2 PHP.INI files -- one in C:\Program Files\PHP and one in
the htdocs directory of Apache. They both have the exact same
include_path defined in the them. The very strange thing is that when
I run phpinfo(), the include_path comes out to be .;C:\PHP5\PEAR.

I have no idea where this value is coming from (it is the value for
Master and Local). I have search everywhere -- the PHP.INI files, the
registry, the ENV variables --- everywhere -- and I have no idea where
this value is coming from. Where does phpinfo() pull the include_path
from???

If I can track down and change this value to the "real" PHP path, I
may be able to get to the next hurdle of using MDB2!

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,
John
