Looks like I forgot a '.' in there :)
"/path/to/local/includes:" is the path to your new includes, we do that first so
that is the first place it will look . The ':' is used to add in another path
which we use ini_get() to retrieve the system wide include file from php.ini.
You may drop this and the ':' if you don't need it.
so if you are setup like this for example
/home/username/public_html/...........web directory
/home/username/includes/..............your include directory
the line would be
ini_set("include_path","/home/username/includes:".ini_get("include_path"));
