On most shared hosts you don't have shell access. However, on these hosts you CAN actually use pear without installing it (by simply uploading the files to your dir (taking care about pear directory structure)). This was not a real question, but a notice, that this feature should be documented imho. Michael Wallner wrote:

I always copy the needed files manually into my app's docroot (PEAR.php, DB.php, DB/DataObject.php etc), so no PEAR installation is required. This works for also for shared hosts if you only have an account for your webspace. What's your opinion about this? Is this possibility documented anywhere?
