[PHP] Installing PEAR
Dear List -- How do install PEAR on Linux? I installed lynx and as root, I ran the command lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php. It seemed to install, but the command pear did not work. From the root directory I ran the command find . -name pear. There was no file found. I also tried Pear, with the same results. Help and advice, please.

Hi Ethan, erm, on linux you could just install it with apt/aptitude !? e.g. aptitude install php5-pear after installing that package you could simply type pear at your shell and install pear packages or what ever you want to do with it ;) Regards, Ronny -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Installing PEAR
(sorry for top post) As he mentioned using lynx ( and I'm assuming the OS rather than the browser here, as I'm not aware of the browser having those sorts of capabilities) then could it be that all the pear packages don't exist? Mostly, pear packages can just be copied into your app directories or in an include path that apache is aware of and things will just work, so that might be a viable solution if the repositories don't work out.

[PHP] Installing PEAR on machines without internet access.
I've been going through the hoops documenting installation and recovery notes for my customer sites. The majority of these run local web services with no internet access from the servers, so with the increasing reliance on PEAR extensions, I'm looking to the correct way to 'install' PEAR packages. Currently I just clone the PEAR directory from another machine.

Yes... ini_set('include_path', 'yourpath').
When I installed PHP5 I had a slight problem... my existing pear installation
(with different path etc. from PHP4) was changing the path every time that it
ran. If you are also upgrading, it could happen at several points:
Your environment variables (PHP_INSTALL_DIR, others)
Your pear.bat file
Your PEAR.php file
Rogue php.ini file (perhaps in system root)

[PHP] Installing PEAR on windows
Hi people, I have a question, i would like to use PEAR in some of my applications, how can i download and iinstall PEAR on windows. I have Apache 2.0.43 with PHP 4.3.0 RC3 installed on a windows XP machine. I read on http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.windows.php . To make PEAR work on Windows, you simple need to add the PEAR installation dir (e.g. c:\php\pear) to the include_path directive in your php.ini. Well i thats easy, but i dont have a pear directory? Making a new directory is easy also;-), but.. How and where do i download and instal the PEAR packages on my machine... Thanks... Best regards,..

Re: [PHP] Installing PEAR
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes
Ok, IM a bit confused as to how PEAR is installed. I read through the README
file in the php source but found no explanation.
I am tryin to use the PEARs DB abstracion. I have DB.php and DB/ in
/usr/local/lib/php. I added: 'include_once(DB/mysql.php);' to the top of my
script but it failed since it is not finding it. Do I need to assign a path in
the php.ini file or have I missed an installation step?
Can somebody please explain or point me to some docs on how I get up and going
with PEAR.
Hi,
Try something like:
?php
require_once ('DB.php');
// connection
$db_type = "mysql"; // type of database - must correspond to a PEAR type
$db_user = "user";// database access username
$db_pswd = "password";// database access password
$db_host = "localhost"; // hostname of database
$db_name = "you_db_name"; // database name
$db_connectString = "$db_type://$db_user:$db_pswd@$db_host/$db_name"; // the above,
collected here for convenience
$usePersistentConnects = true; // true - uses persistent connects to the database
(always leaves a link open, false - not)
if (! $db_con)
$db_con = DB::connect ($db_connectString, $usePersistentConnects);
$sql = "SELECT column FROM $tableName WHERE whatever = '$whatever'";
if (DB::isError ($result = $db_con - query ($sql)))
handle_db_error ($result);
else
$resultArray = $result - fetchRow (DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
$db_con - commit();
if ($db_con (! $usePersistentConnects))
$db_con - disconnect();
?
I hope the line wraps still leave the above readable.
I made a separate function of my own, handle_db_error (), to handle errors - you
might like to do something like:
echo DB::errorMessage($result);
... instead.
I recommend putting all the db connection stuff in a file which resides outside of
the document root and including it where you need it.
The following links may prove useful - the user comments in the phpbuilder article
were particularly helpful in pointing me in the right direction.
