All of this information is on the http://pear.php.net/ website.
A simple usage example of PEAR::DB is here: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-connect.php Basically, once you've established that PEAR is installed the user simply "loads" the script. Eg. <?php include_once 'DB.php'; $db = DB::connect(); ?> If this fails, you'll need to configure your users include_path via php.ini to contain the location to the PEAR scripts. Also, I'd run a "pear upgrade-all" to make sure you're using the latest version of all the packages too. Hope this helps :) "Dave Carrera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Thanks Aidan, > > I get a list of installed packages. > > What do I or one of my users need to do to access / use the DB package? > > Any help, advice, example is very much appreciated. > > Dave C > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Aidan Lister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 May 2004 13:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Pear question > > > PEAR doesn't need to be "installed", so to speak. > > PEAR is simply a set of classes, at heart, they can be downloaded and used > without problem from the pear.php.net website.
