php.ini include_path

I've searched all over the place and can't seem to find an answer for this. I'm trying to set an include path in the php.ini file of my local wamp server. I currently don't understand one of two things:

  1. What to put in the quotes of the include path setting itself.
    For example, if I wanted to add C:\wamp\www as an include path, would it be
    include_path = ".;C:\wamp\www\"?
  2. Where to put the include path line. Can I put it anywhere, or do I have to put it in a specific place?

Some common errors I've read about in my research that I've checked.

  • I'm editing the php.ini file located at C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8
  • I've restarted the server after I've made my changes and have checked if it had updated using the phpinfo() function.

UPDATE
This is currently what I have, but it still doesn't work.

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;C:\php\pear;C:\wamp\www"
php include-path

The php.ini file will have include_path already in it, but commented out, that is where you should put it, by uncommenting it. It also has examples for windows. It will look like this, just remove the semicolon preceding "include_path"

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"
