Set numerous include paths?

Question

I know hot to set an include path:

set_include_path('/path');

But how can I set multiple include paths? For example, two different directories.

Answer 1

Separate them with colons (:).

set_include_path("/some/dir:/other/dir:.");

More info on php.net.

Answer 2

To do this in a cross platform manner use the PATH_SEPARATOR constant:

set_include_path('/my/path' . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/my/other/path');

FYI: You can also set the include path in php.ini or in your apache vhost configuration.
