You can create an online collection of PEAR packages and then manually include that parent directory on the PHP include_path in your applications. Usually something like:

set_include_path('/path/to/pear' . PATH_SEPARATOR. get_include_path());

ini_set() can do something identical on the "include_path" property which is probably what you remember.

There's a few in-depth explanations online. Before I moved to a host where I could compile PHP myself and setup PEAR, I used a solution Greg wrote up for PEAR 1.4.0:
http://greg.chiaraquartet.net/archi...emote-host.html

This lets you synchronise a local PEAR repository to a hosted version across FTP.

Hope this helps :).

One of client's hostwill not allow command line
install - therefore I can install PEAR the proper way.

I have worked with one site that had the packages in
the web-accessible directory structure and did
something funcky at the top ofmost pages using
set_ini().

Has anyone run into this issue and how do I work with
the packages without installing them formally?

Many thanks.

thanks for the link. I tried that several times and
meticulously. It installed on my local machine in the
remote directory but NOT on the remote machine.

Any ideas?
