The Smarty stuff works no problem. The DB and Pager stuff do not. Since I am
new to PHP I may be just misunderstanding how to do it.
indeed you are - your require statements are ok but some of the
files (with relative paths) are not found because your include_path
does not include the base directory where your PEAR classes are found
(I guess that the DB and Pager classes are PEAR things :-)
either make sure include_path is set correctly, this can be done
in the php.ini, in a .htacess file (Apache specific) or by using:
// you have to decide what the value of $incPath should be!
ini_set('include_path', $incPath);
or you can change the define() statements in your config file
so that they define the full path to the directories in question rather than
a relative path e.g:
define('PAGER_DIR', 'C:/Path/To/PEAR/Base/Dir/Pager/');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager.php');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager_Wrapper.php');
.... I recommend reading up on include_path:
http://nl2.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=INCLUDE_PATH&lang=en
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path
have fun.
I am using Apache/PHP on Windows.
