Description:
------------
Using:
Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.1

can't change the include_path in php.ini. it always defaults to: ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear".

i know i'm using the correct php.ini file because it shows the correct Configuration File Path in phpinfo().

i can successfully set other variables in php.ini such as memory_limit or whatever, restart apache, and everything works fine. however, when i try to change the include_path, nothing happens.

Reproduce code:
---------------
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/php/PEAR:/var/somesite/app/classes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

Expected result:
----------------
when i run phpinfo() i should see:

include_path .:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/var/somesite/app/classes

Actual result:
--------------
what i actually see is:

include_path .:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

And check phpinfo() output for what php.ini files was loaded and actually in use.

This is still a problem with PHP 5.2.5. I am running on a Redhat system.

I can confirm that I am loading the correct php.ini file but my changes have no effect. My changes to the path show up in phpinfo(), But when I run get_include_path() it always shows the default path instead of my changes. Also, running set_include_path() no longer has any effect, either. This latter problem is only true as of PHP 5.2.5

this just happened to me as well, on a debian machine
just randomly, i was updating some code, and then for some reason it just stopped working
using php 5.3.0, the include_path is set, /several/paths/to/include in the php.ini
it is the correct php.ini, as it says in phpinfo(), when i remove the ini file, the include path stays the same, /path/to/php/install/lib/php
when i put the ini file back, it still says that

php built as a cgi

try running php -i | grep include_path from the command line, perhaps there is a syntax error in your php.ini

Using 5.1.6 on red hat

Same problem.  I ran 
php -i | grep include_path 
and the output was what was I have in the php.ini file.  

However, the phpInfo() output is .:/usr/share/pear
Also,  using get_include_path() I also get the /pear path instead of the one I expect.

Finally, the system does not include files from the path I entered into php.ini   (so it's not just a cosmetic problem).
