Hi Sandman,

Reading further upon the subject I found your solution.

I have some problems with it though :

- There is only 1 php.ini for all the sites on the server so I will end up
putting all includes of different projects in 1 directory (I could prepend
the include file with a project prefix to avoid naming collisions)
- Or I could expand include_path and add a directory per site (naming collisions
are possible again so I have to adopt a naming scheme)
- I read that some isp's don't allow editing the php.ini (especialy if you
are using a shared server, there is only 1 php.ini right?)
- The site isn't self contained. I can't xcopy 1 directory to deploy are
backup the site. Information is scatered around the system.

disclaimer :
This are all comments of a php beginner so _please_ correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
Tom Pester
