The set_include_path() function is an inbuilt function in PHP that sets the include_path configuration option.
Syntax:
string|false set_include_path(string $include_path)
Parameters: This function accepts one parameter that is described below:
- $include_path: This parameter specifies the new value for the include_path.
Return Value: This function returns the old include_path on successful, otherwise returns “false”.
Example 1: In this example, we will use the set_include_path() function.
PHP
<?php $path = "/home/dachman" ; if (true == set_include_path( $path )){ echo "Path is set now" ; } else { echo "Path is not set now" ; } ?> |
Output:
The path is set now
Example 2: In the below code, we will check the path before using the set_include_path() function.
PHP
<?php $path = "/home/dachman" ; // Before using set_include_path() function. echo get_include_path(). "\n" ; set_include_path( $path ) ; echo get_include_path() ; ?> |
Output:
.:/usr/share/php /home/dachman
