php.ini:include_path = ".:/php/includes";
The scripts you want to include are located in:
/var/www/html/project/includes
All you have to do is set your include_path in php.ini:
include_path = "/var/www/html/project/includes:.:/php/includes";
restart webserver.
Then to include the file you want, include it relative to the
include_path:
include('db.inc');
That will try and find a file in these locations in order:
/var/www/html/projects/include/db.inc
./db.inc
/php/includes/db.inc
And will use the first one found.
I would not suggest using ini_set() inside you're scripts to
adjust your paths.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
