[PHP] Requiring stuff question

2005-05-23 Thread Robert 
I have the following in a config file:

// Define and require the Smarty library
define('SMARTY_DIR', 'Smarty/');
require(SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php');

// Define the pager stuff
define('PAGER_DIR', 'Pager/');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager.php');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager_Wrapper.php');

// Define the DB package
define('PEAR_DB', 'DB/');
require(PEAR_DB . 'DB.php');

The Smarty stuff works no problem. The DB and Pager stuff do not. Since I am 
new to PHP I may be just misunderstanding how to do it.

I am using Apache/PHP on Windows.

What is the whole exact path to the DB and Pager stuff?

What's the error you're getting?

indeed you are - your require statements are ok but some of the
files (with relative paths) are not found because your include_path
does not include the base directory where your PEAR classes are found
(I guess that the DB and Pager classes are PEAR things :-)

either make sure include_path is set correctly, this can be done
in the php.ini, in a .htacess file (Apache specific) or by using:

// you have to decide what the value of $incPath should be!
ini_set('include_path', $incPath);

or you can change the define() statements in your config file
so that they define the full path to the directories in question rather than
a relative path e.g:

define('PAGER_DIR', 'C:/Path/To/PEAR/Base/Dir/Pager/');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager.php');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager_Wrapper.php');

 I recommend reading up on include_path:

http://nl2.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=INCLUDE_PATHlang=en
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path

have fun.

PEAR requires that its path is in include_path. Use:

ini_set('include_path', '/where/is/your/PEAR/:' . ini_get('include_path'));

Ah! Thanks!
