Re: Installing / Using Pear on a Shared Web Host - Windows Environment

Hi Matte: Thanks much for the help. I have 2 more silly questions: 1. When I install a local copy of PEAR - do I have to have to install the base classes if I dont' need them? 2. Is the windows path different from the UNIX path e.g. \ vs /? 3. For require.once, often what is stated is something like HTML/Form.php however, when we unzip it, they often include the version information - must this be deleted or is the file automatically detected? Thanks again! Sorry if the questions seem so goofball. Jo "Matte Edens" <matte@arubanetworks.com> wrote in message news:413E4C44.80105@arubanetworks.com... > Well, answer to #1 is yes.
