Author Using PEAR without CLI PHP?
James

2005-05-09, 8:57 pm

I'm trying to get pear up and running on a hosted environment where I
don't have a command line copy of PHP, only an apache module. It's
running on FreeBSD 4.7 release p28 if that helps. So far I have
installed the base PEAR installation with the script from go-pear.org

I don't think that I'm going to be able to successfully compile a copy
of PHP to get the command line copy, and so far it sounds like I'll need
to either download the PEAR packages and install them manually, or set
up a localhost only virtual server that serves the PEAR install
directory and re-write the pear bash executeable to invoke lynx instead
of php. The PEAR install directory is readable by the web-server and in
the php include path, but not in the DocumentRoot.

Does anyone on the list have any better ideas on how to do this?

Many Thanks,

There are at least 2 better alternatives.

If you have a complete mirror of your production server on a development
machine, simply ftp the exact directory structure. Otherwise, you can
use the methods described by:
