Sorry. Im really not very good at php yet. Im new.
So what do I put in my php.ini file if my includes path is http://www.finalfantasyfan.net/includes/

[Twey]

It's a local path, not an URL.

Do I have to include php.ini?

<?php
// Works as of PHP 4.3.0
set_include_path('/home/noth/public_html/includes');

// Works in all PHP versions
ini_set('include_path', '/home/noth/public_html/includes');
?>

i didn't include it but had this and it didn't work. When i went into a sub folder the includes were messed up.

I'm not surprised.
Try:

$seperator = ":"; // ; for Windows, : for anything else
set_include_path(get_include_path() . $seperator . '/home/noth/public_html/includes');

I put that in my php.ini file and then went on to my index.php in the folder 't' and it wouldn't work:

Warning: main(includes/maincore.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/noth/public_html/t/index.php on line 11

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/maincore.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home') in /home/noth/public_html/t/index.php on line 11

Twey. Have you got AOL or MSN?

By the way mate, you've been a great help, thank you a lot

Twey. Have you got AOL or MSN?

Happily, no.
Firstly, that wasn't meant to be in your php.ini file, it's PHP code. If you want to use php.ini, find the line beginning "include_path" and add :/home/noth/public_html/includes to the end of the value.

Secondly, there'll be no need to specify the directory; it would simply be require_once('maincore.php').

Ok thannk you - it worked. Wouldn't work in php.ini so I put that code at the top.
