Hi Mike.
Sorry for the duplication of email, I wanted to respond to the list the
first time as well but didn't, I also added a comment to this email that
wasn't in the other.
On your host server, check in /usr/share/php (or /usr/share/php5) for a
directory called PEAR.
or
at the command line type: pear list
pear list should (if pear is installed) show all of the pear packages
that are installed. Pear is modular, you don't have to install
everything, just what you need.
If that doesn't work (and pear is not installed) check out this page:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
If that works, then type: pear -h
That will give you the command opts for the pear manager. You can use
that to install the pear packages you want to use.
Additional comment:
| I guess there's also a GUI installer/manager too but I've found the
command line tool does everything I need it to.
Make sure /usr/share/php (or php5) is in your include_path in your
php.ini file... it should be by default.
Then from there, head on over to the pear site:
http://pear.php.net/
and:
http://pear.php.net/manual/
and start reading.
I've been using pear for over a year now, mostly HTML_QuickForm and
HTML_QuickForm_Controller. I'm not an expert and I know I won't be able
to answer all your questions but I'd be glad to help where I can.
Peace
