Need pro advice: Is Pear installed and/or setup correctly?

What do you think this means. This code: [code] <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); include_once('Mail.php'); include_once('Mail_Mime/mime.php'); ?> [/code] Outputs these error messages: http://pastebin.com/ZKtyELT1 But this code: [code] <?php require_once 'System.php'; var_dump(class_exists('System', false)); ?> [/code] Returns "bool(true)" Looking at these docs: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.checking.php ... it says: "In every case, PEAR's php_dir should be in the include path. If not, add it in your system's php.ini." When viewing PHP info, I do not see "php_dir" in the include path (or anywhere else... Nor do I see any reference to "pear".) My friend told me that the host said Pear "is installed." I tried adding a php.ini to the root of the server (I don't know much about this host's setup... I am just helping a friend out) but that did not seem to load. I don't have shell access either. Would it be safe for me to conclude that Pair is not setup properly? Would it be a simple fix for the host to add Pear to the include path? What else could I do to get Pear to work if I can't use a php.ini file and/or ssh into the server and check/tweak/install packages? Thanks so much! Cheers, Micky
