Calling Pear Includes...

[RMBruno]

Hi all,
I am trying out Pear for the mail classes. I had my ISP install it and when I try the 'pear list' from the command line, i see that the necessary packages that i need are installed, namely 'Mail'. I am trying to use the default test from the package 'Net_POP3_example.php' to test the functions.

I get the following error when I try and load the page:

Warning: main(Net/POP3.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aressidi/www/picturepolls/new_mail/Net_POP3-1.3.3/Net_POP3_example.php on line 42

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'Net/POP3.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/aressidi/www/picturepolls/new_mail/Net_POP3-1.3.3/Net_POP3_example.php on line 42

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: net_pop3 in /home/aressidi/www/picturepolls/new_mail/Net_POP3-1.3.3/Net_POP3_example.php on line 60

The Pear include is called the following way in the example:

include('Net/POP3.php');

It appears that there is some configuration issue.

• Does my ISP need to do something different?
• Is there a way that I can find out the proper way to reference the POP3.php file. Where can I find out where to call it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

your ISP or yourself should check to see if the files you are calling are indeed in one of the two include dirs and readable by Apache. If not - install them there or change the include_dir parameter in php.ini (your ISP's work). You could of course also download the package and install those files in your own dirs - reference them correctly then.
