Req #7105 [Opn->WFx]: FAQ addition request

Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7105&edit=1 ID: 7105 Updated by: mj@php.net Reported By: greg at rt-eng dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Id: 7105 Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Documentation Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: There is no such things like "Is PEAR installed or not?", because PEAR consists of hundreds of (mostly disjunct) packages. Most likely you might want to try to include PEAR.php. If this fails, at least the base PEAR package is not in your site's include_path. But this does not mean that PEAR isn't there at all (it just isn't in your include_path) or that other PEAR packages are not there. It *just* means that one single component of PEAR could not be found.

I need this information because I don't know if my ISP has installed PEAR or not, and it is not obvious how to find out easily if it is installed or not.
