Instlling Zend

PHP
1

Hello,

I would like to work with YouTube API, so I have to install Zend Framework. I have linux server with WHM/cpanel, and I upladed zend from http://framework.zend.com/download/latest to /home/jancom/php/Zend

How do I include this path into my php so I get it to work?

If you’re on a shared host I don’t imagine they’ll let you get at any config files.
Except for your htaccess file. I have never tried setting a path in htaccess so I don’t know how or if it’s possible to do, though it seems it should be.

If you do the ini_set in your main file the ini_set will be OK for as long as the script runs, it’s not really any increase server load, you just need to remember to have it in your code.

I tried adding to .htaccess
php_value include_path ".:/home/jancom/php/Zend

But now I get 500 Internal server error. I checked that /home/jancom/php is chmoded to 775

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

You’ll see one from on the display from that function called “Loaded Configuration File” that is the location of the php.ini file which is being used.

Well, magically I got it to work by:
$path = “/usr/lib/php/Zend”;
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);
require_once ‘Loader.php’; // the Zend dir must be in your include_path

But I am wondering, how do I get it to work without having to call this function every time (I want to reduce server resources usage). I can’t find php.ini file anywhere.

I like your use of the PATH_SEPARATOR constant better, but I use this OK

ini_set(
    'include_path', ini_get('include_path') . ":" .
        $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/packages/PEAR/");

Im pulling my hair off. I tried:
$path = “/php/Zend”;
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);

But I still get error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘Loader.php’ (include_path=‘.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/php/Zend’) in /home/jancom/public_html/janbirsa.com/tools/TubePromoter/dashboard/functions.php on line 6

So I logged in via ssh and did:
[root@server]# cp -r /home/jancom/php/Zend /usr/lib/php

But it didnt do ****. Help, Im desparate. Its been like 2 hours Im trying. I tried everything possible from http://www.geeksengine.com/article/php-include-path.html already.
