Slight PEAR Problem

influx

Hey all,

I am switching hosts as we speak from my own server to bluehost.com.

I have a quick question, my transition was smooth except for the error I get on many of my pages:

Warning: main(DB.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in db_universal.php on line 5

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in db_universal.php on line 5

Now, on line 5 I include the following PEAR :: DB classes:

require_once 'DB.php';

On my old server, the include-path for PHP was .:/usr/share/pear, but on my new one, it's .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php

How do I get access to the PEAR :: DB classes on my new bluehost.com servers?

Thanks in advance!

Please note I am now using PHP v.4.4.1

On some hosts I found the easiest solution was to download DB from pear.php.net and upload into my includes folder. In fact, I just ran into a case where a host didn't even have PEAR installed so I had to get everything I needed into my repository. Its possible the host has the core of PEAR but doesn't have any packages.

If under the phpinfo() in the "Configure Command" it has:

'.....................'--with-pear' '--with-pgsql=/usr' '--with-pspell'...........'

does this mean pear is already installed and I just have to find it?

You should find out from your host server where the pear path is. In your script you can use ini_set manually to get your script to work.
