Cannot get include path working

I am trying to include a php directory that is currently in a subdirectory by either editing the php.ini configuration file or with the following method:

string set_include_path ( string $new_include_path )

I am currently trying to use the above method and have placed it in a login.php (same subdirectory as the php directory that is to be included) file so I can set the path. Here is what I have: 

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/dt2/php');

The current path is echoed out with echo get_include_path(); and the following is printed to the page:

.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.3.13/lib/php:/dt2/php

I understand that the different paths are separated by colons.

In the directory dt2/php there is a library.php file that contains the following function: 

function testFunction() {

    echo "hello";

}

The function is then called in login.php.

However, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function testFunction() in /hermes/bosnaweb06a/b2320/(domain name here)/dt2/login.php on line 25

I would appreciate any help and thank you for your time in advance.

Since it is in your dt2 where your homepage is (probably), you need to include full path to dt2: /hermes/bosnaweb06a/b2320/(domain name here)/dt2/php

At the moment it is looking path from your server root: /dt2/php/
