Re: PEAR file??

Hi Ben, This is true for some packages, but most would simply not work, as any PEAR file that uses another PEAR file would require you to update your include_path so that ".." would simply fail. For instance, look at Log.php. the factory method tries to include Log/drivername.php. DB's mysql driver includes DB/mysql.php, etc. etc. Greg Ben Ramsey wrote:

It's not a PEAR file. PEAR files are never included using ".."

This is not true. I can download a PEAR package and use it as a standalone in my application without specifying a PEAR folder in the include_path in php.ini. I can also use it without using ini_set() to change the include_path. If I use it in this way, there would be files in my application that would need to include it using ".." :)
