unable to use a PEAR file (auth.php)

[Duke555]

wanted to consult you with the following issue.
I have xampp installed in the following dir:
c:\program files\xampp\xampp\
and i was trying to implement a child of a PEAR auth.php 's class
my php docs are in c:\program files\xampp\xampp\htdocs
i tried the following paths in order include PEAR auth class:

1) ..\PEAR\zend (this is where auth is actually located) -> relative path
2) c:\program files\xampp\xampp\PEAR\zend -> absolute path

neither of the two actually worked.
what do i have to do? do i have to configure .cof file?

thank you 🙂

You probably want to set your include_path to include the PEAR directory. This can be done in php.ini, a local config file (e.g. .htaccess), or at the script level via set_include_path(), e.g.:

set_include_path('c:\program files\xampp\xampp\PEAR'.PATH_SEPARATOR.get_include_path());
include 'zend/auth.php';

This way any dependencies the auth class has on other PEAR classes should be picked up correctly.
