Proper Way To Include PEAR CSV Extension

Hi

I've been using this function for a year now. It does work I know that but occasionally, someone has issues with it on their server.

I'm just wondering if anyone can spot an issue or can suggest a better approach. This approach is far older than a year so I thought it might be worth a try.

Thanks

function wtgpt_pearcsv_include(){
    if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN'){
        ini_set('include_path',rtrim(ini_get('include_path'),';').';'.dirname(__FILE__).'/pear/');
    }else{
        ini_set('include_path',rtrim(ini_get('include_path'),':').':'.dirname(__FILE__).'/pear/');
    }
    require_once 'File/CSV.php';
}

Customers. Information is vague, I would need access to their hosting php ini. This question is in response to a year of use on my software.

If you think it looks good then I'm sticking with it. I'm just checking because I was still really new to PHP when I started using this.

Thanks

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
