[RESOLVED] PHP Pear Config Help

denzlite

I never could get

require_once "HTML/QuickForm.php";

to work and I'm thinking the reason I couldn't get it to work is because we haven't got PEAR/PHP cofigured correctly. I don't understand this link. Does the HTML refer to some other level/structure?? I copied the HTML folder in which quickform resides inside my local folder in order to get it to work but I don't think that's the proper way to go about it.

Does this info look right?

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/apache2

Loaded Configuration File /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php5/conf.d

Then I read this somewhwere: "As long as the PHP bin directory is part of your path, you can access the package manager in a Unix or Linux environment by typing pear at the command line."

Your help is much appreciated.

Your include_path needs to contain the PEAR directory (assuming there is a PEAR directory?). This can be set globally in your php.ini, locally via .htaccess, or per script via [man]set_include_path/man. For instance, in my local PC's php.ini:

include_path = ".;[COLOR="Purple"]C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\PEAR[/COLOR];c:\wamp\www\include"

I'm not quite understanding - if i set the include_path properly in php.ini then when i say require - html/quickform - this will work? i don't have to put other includes in there right?

I also noticed that we didn't have HTML_common or HTML_quickform packages. When i go out and look PEAR tells me to use version 2 of these packages - but when we try to install - server say these are unstable...
