Fw: [PEAR] PEAR

I find that this is not true - it depends on the web hosting IPs - I find that quite a few I've looked into *do not* include the PEAR with the PHP installation, and some of them refuses to include\install with PEAR. You can find out by doing a phpinfo.php run - in the Configure Command section, if it says "--with-pear" - it's been installed with PEAR. If it doesnt' have that information, likely it hasn't. I have the PHP Developer's Cookbook, and I wish that it has a note somewhere on the front or back cover cover saying that PEAR is required to use some of the recipes... ------------- Forwarded message follows ------------- This whole PEAR thing is really confusing. The sites documentation is crap compared to PHP. what is it and how do i install it on my windows system? and more, importantly do i have 2 force my host to install it or can i do it myself. i'm just looking to use the file_find package. they say pear is automatically installed with php4 but i cant seem to find it. -- Regards, Georgie Casey webmaster@filmfind.tv *************************** http://www.filmfind.tv Online Film Production Directory *************************** -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --
