Putting PEARs php_dir into include_path in php.ini

I'm unsure of how to alter my php.ini file according to the instructions on the PEAR website

It says "In every case, PEAR's php_dir should be in the include path. If not, add it in your system's php.ini."

On my system(Mac 10.6.6), this is PEAR's php dir

/Users/michaelmitchell/pear/share/pear

On my system, this is the php.ini include path

.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php

What should the resulting path look like in my php.ini? Do I delete the current path and replace it with PEAR's php dir path? or do I somehow integrate the two?

Thanks 开发者_如何学JAVAfor your help. If you can please type out the whole path as it should be. I'm not very experienced ...

As you may have already discovered, you need to set the PHP path configuration directive, 'include_path', in your system's php.ini file to:

include_path = ".:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php:/Users/michaelmitchell/pear/share/pear"

For a more detailed explanation of how to set the PHP path configuration directive, 'include_path', in your system's php.ini file, please see my answer to the question What does it mean to 'move' a file into include path list?

Hope this helps,

problem solved. Just separate the two paths with colon (on Linux) or semicolon on Windows
