    include_path and doc_root

    Dear all,

    I have a website hosted on Apache, where phpinfo gives DOCUMENT_ROOT as
    /home/mysite/public_html, and include_path as
    ..:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php; I have no control over these. For
    development, work, however, I use IIS, but here I do have access to php.ini
    file.

    Basically I'm after a way to tweak (fudge) my local configuration such that
    I can use include("/home/mysite/public_html/includes/public.php"); (for
    instance), as well as <link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css"
    href="/stylesheets/public.css" /> (for instance) on my development
    workstation as well as on the live server.

    I'm using IIS 5.1 on Windows XP, where my default web site's home directory
    points to D:\My Documents\My Website\home\my site\public_htm l; my first
    instinct was to set my local doc_root to D:\My Documents\My Website (and
    every imagineable combination of trailing slashes/forwardslashes/quotes) in
    php.ini, but doing so results in IIS returning a 404 error whenever it tries
    to process a PHP page, presumably because it's outside this root directory
    of IIS's default web site.

    Any ideas? I don't particulalry want to install Apache locally (most of the
    time I'm developing in ASP.NET), or use set_include_pat h(); every time I use
    an include function...

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul
    Relative newbie

              Linux is just the kernel, nothing more.
