I know this may be a bit off-topic, but I would like to use the PEAR library to implement some of my database functions. Unfortunately, the PEAR documentation is woefully incomplete and as a result i've been unable to install it properly. Here's the procedure i went through: PHP Version: 5.1.2 Apache Version: 2.0.55 MySQL Version: 5.0.18 Windows XP Pro 1. launch the go-pear batch file 2. select system-wide installation 3. use default install directories: (Seems fine to me since PHP is installed into C:\PHP) Installation Base ($prefix) C:\PHP Binaries Directory C:\PHP PHP code Directory ($php_dir) C:\PHP\pear Documentation Directory C:\PHP\pear\docs Data Directory C:\PHP\pear\data Tests Directory C:\PHP\pear\tests Name of Configuration File C:\WINDOWS\pear.ini Path to CLI php.exe C:\PHP\. 4. The batch file tells me pear is installed 5. I add the environment variable via the PEAR_ENV.reg file 6. add the line "require db.php" and load to this message: Warning: require(DB.php) [function.require <http://localhost/function.require> ]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wwwroot\phpinfo.php on line 2 Fatal error: require() [function.require <http://localhost/function.require> ]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;C:\PHP\pear') in C:\wwwroot\phpinfo.php on line 2 7. Figure DB might not be installed by default, so follow the website's instructions by attempting to call it from the command line: pear install db = not recognized as internal or external command, bla bla bla c:\php\pear install db = see above c:\php\pear\pear install db = see above 8. get annoyed, go back to phpinfo file, remove erroneous line and look for references to PEAR, come up with the following (only) line: include_path .;C:\PHP\pear .; C:\PHP\pear 9. Go crazy, hit cute, fuzzy animals. I apolagize for the length of my e-mail, but I know that being thorough helps most of the time. Does anyone have any advice or ideas?
