[vox-tech] php and including with absolute paths

[Peter Jay Salzman]

Is it possible to ask PHP to include/require files with an absolute pathname
rather than pathname relative to PHP's search path?  I'd like to do
something along the lines of:

   require_once('/www/foo/bar.php');

As far as I can tell, these functions only look for files relative to the
PHP include path which is often, but not always, convenient.

Thanks,
Pete
