Thanks, now I understand the system. I don't have permission to install pear/ and my hosting service is very slow about such thing but I would like to use those files anyway as long as they are compatible with existing PHP and PEAR.php I can easily do this by copying files to my site and using .htaccess to change include_path to point to look for pear files, first where I have write permission and, finally, to the defaults my hosting service has installed with php. php_value include_path .:/home/pnet/proliberty/pear:/var/www/php/lib/php That works for me :-) - greg
