php.ini location question

[furry]

I'm trying to set the PHP include path for a PHP class on my web host, but I
don't have access to the root php.ini.

My host allows me to have my own php.ini which applies to each directory it
appears in but it seems I need to have a php.ini in each and every directory
I want my include path to apply in.

I would rather avoid having a php.ini in each directory, since it's a class
I use all over my site (phpMailer - excellent multipart email class).

Is there any way to make my php.ini in my webserver root apply to all
sub-directories, or another way to achieve this (btw - I can't use
..htaccess) ?

Thanks in advance.

If you only want to set the include path, you can use ini_set to do the
job like this:

ini_set('includ e_path',dirname (__FILE__).'/php.ini');

Put that in a file in your docroot, put the php.ini file in the same
directory, then make sure that you include the file with that call in it
in your script.
