As mentioned a couple of times on that include page, you can just use
ini_set() directly in your application to set include_path.
eg.
<?
ini_set("include_path",".:..:../..:/usr/local/lib/php");
include "foo.inc";
?>
That will run through each directory listed in your include path. That
is, it will check for:
./foo.inc
../foo.inc
../../foo.inc
/usr/local/lib/php/foo.inc
in that order.
