Author Question related to PEAR::DB class

Hi

I am trying to create a login/registration script and i am learning this on
the go.When i run the script, the first line failed at

require_once 'DB.php';

I looked through the directories and found a /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR
directory. I wonder if this means that PEAR has been installed and if so,
what else do I need to use the class?

What am I missing here?

Thanks for your help;

Shawn

See:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/insta...on.introduction

It basically involves applying the pear cli, with the `install` command and
the package name, e.g.:

$ pear install DB

It's just as easy as Perl's CPAN installation...

If PEAR.php and DB.php are in the directory you listed... you can either
modify the php.ini so that the pear directory is in the include path, or you
can put this in your script:
<?
ini_set(include_path, "/usr/local/lib/php/PEAR");
require_once('DB.php');
?>

Great help! I got it to work with your suggestion, although my server setup
wasn't exactly like this.
Thanks!
