Happy New Year! Thanks for the comment about php_value.

I ran across the include_path item in a few pages at php.net.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/print/ini.core.php#ini.include-path

And the content of that page left me puzzled as to how or where
to place that. Also, the Unix server that the site I'm deploying to
is a hosting company. IS there a way to edit the httpd.conf file
through PHP?

And I'm trying to get some other things working to find out what
modules are installed... tried...

apache_get_modules()

but that particular item is failing on my local machine.
apache_get_version() works and returns the version.

Also, found the include_path in the php.ini file. So that is
probably what I'm looking for on the local Windows
system. But will that work for the remote Apache (Unix)
server when I don't know where or how to get to it ?

The other things found in the php.ini file include:

doc_root =
user_dir =

I'm thinking my problem is an Apache problem, and I need
to create a couple virtual hosts.

For the meantime I'm going to have to stick to 100% relative
addressing for all my includes rather than using virtual root
addressing.

Unless there's a way to configure the doc_root variable to use
use a different root for two or more virtuals.

Again, thank you and Happy New Year to everyone.
