title: Installing Zend Gdata Client library
body: <p>Hi this is my first post on here. I am trying to install the Gdata Zend Client library without much success. </p>
  
  <p>I have used these resources + scoured Stack Overflow.</p>

  <p>I want to be able to add,edit etc events on google calendar via PHP. My problem/question is i really dont understand what the include_path settings are all about and how to set them in order to make the class work. Of course i checked php manual regarding this but still draw a blank.</p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded the relevant class and uploaded it to my web root. In the past i would just include a class by using php include at the top of the page and this would suffice. </p>
  
  <p>I am of the understanding that i need to change the php.ini file to show php where my class is. Does this mean that i have to put my class somewhere else other than the web root.</p>
  
  <p>I am terribly confused about this step and i know that if i can get it installed, actually using the class should be relatively easy.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
