The error message hints that something is wrong with your include path.
"(include_path='.:..')"
Also, when you say `ini_set("include_path", "../../php")` you are
overwriting the entire include path rather than appending your path to it.
Try this:
<?php
echo get_include_path();
set_include_path(get_include_path() . ':/full/path/to/your/includes');
echo get_include_path();
?>
I would use the full system path rather than a relative path. Using "echo
get_include_path()" should give you an idea what's going on.
