If you specify a relative path in your include/require calls, the include_path will be searched for that relative path. So the only path you need in your include_path to have Pear accessible is the parent directory. That is, if your include_path includes /usr/local/lib/php.. include 'DB/mysql.php'; will find /usr/local/lib/php/DB/mysql.php. This is highly prefereable to including all Pear directories in the include_path. Matt
