This setting just caused me some problems. Somehow my php.ini had a
bad path in its include_path setting. Rather than spit out an error,
it assumed that c:\php4\pear was my default include directory, and gave
me little information to figure out why. Once I fixed the path, my
declared settings took effect and everything worked fine, but it wasn't
a very intuitive leap to see why that include path was showing up.

sorry, here I completely disagree. Of course it _is_ possible to change
the include_path manually or within the script, however there is a
divergence between the installation section of the manual (where it
says "C:\php") and this built-in behavior of PHP ("C:\php5"). Also, I
know of only very few people who actually use both versions on one
machine (only few now of the possibility to store php.ini in the PHP
directory and not in the Windows directory; furthermore you have to use
PHP as CGI).
This bug appears again and again; I am getting 2-3 reader mails about
this per month; and it is (IMO) just annoying. Therefore, one thing has
to change IMO: either the installation recommends installing PHP into
C:\php5, or the include_path is set to something that includes C:\php.
Of course, the latter is preferable. So I dare to reopen this one :)

Well this is a matter of opinion :) Most people prefer to be able to
run php4 and php5 on the same box right now. This might change in the
future. Anyway setting include_path in php.ini isn't that difficult, is
it :)

Description:
------------
the default include_path on Windows systems is ".;c:\php5\pear". IMO
that's a bad idea (TM) because most installation tutorials recommend
c:\php and the PEAR installer defaults to that directory, too.
Looks like a "port" of bug #21609 :-)
Reproduce code:
---------------
call phpinfo(), look at output for include_path
Expected result:
----------------
Directive Local Value Master Value
include_path .;C:\php\pear .;C:\php\pear
Actual result:
--------------
Directive Local Value Master Value
include_path .;C:\php5\pear .;C:\php5\pear
