Installing Pear

Hi all,

I am using a hosting service that uses PHP 4.3.1, but although the phpinfo()
tells me '--with-pear', it looks like Pear is not configured (is it
possible?). The 'include_path' is set to
'.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php'.

I tryied but didn't succeed on using Pear DB (it tells DB is not found).

Once I asked support before for other reason without an answer from them, I
don't believe they'll fix this problem, so, is there a way for me to
manually install the necessary files to use Pear DB on my own directories?
How can I figure out which files I need (if possible)?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael Cotta

I'm not sure, but if you put the PEAR installation in your own directory,
and you change the include path to include your local PEAR directory, it
should work.

I've made a little test today, following the instructions from a friend of
mine, using

include('/usr/share/php/pear/DB.php')

and this worked fine! (well, my test just connected to MySQL and checked for
errors using DB::isError).

That's the workaround that I will use.

Thanks for the help, anyway.
