title: Force to include file from same directory and not include_path
body: <p>I am trying to use <a href="http://www.fpdf.de/downloads/addons/68/">FPDF_Code39 class</a> to print bar codes that extends the FPDF class. I am getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning (2): include(helveticab.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory [D:\xampp\php\PEAR\fpdf.php, line 541]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The catch is in <code>D:\xampp\php\PEAR\fpdf.php</code>. It is including <code>fpdf.php</code> from the <code>PEAR</code> whereas I want it to include fpdf from the same directory as FPDF_Code39 class as I have the latest FPDF there. </p>
  
  <p>I confirmed this issue by temporarily renaming <code>PEAR/fpdf.php</code> and everything works like a charm. </p>
  
  <p>How do I force it to pick up FPDF from the same directory rather than include_path? Here is the require's that I have...</p>
  
  <pre><code>require('./fpdf.php'); \\I read at many places that this will do it.
  require(dirname(__FILE__).'/fpdf.php');
  require('fpdf.php')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Your help is really appreciated...</p>
