PEAR can easily be installed "locally", i.e. within your own webspace. Actually, Geeklog 1.3.9 will be using PEAR::Mail and will ship with the necessary PEAR classes included (in /path/to/geeklog/pear). >and b) learn a new db other than MySQL? Groan ... PEAR::DB is a PEAR class that supports a variety of databases (including MySQL). It is not a database. See <http://pear.php.net/> for details. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.haun.info/
