Pear packages are installed on hosted server but package manager is not, can I simply upload needed packages?

My host has pear working - I've tested "require_once "DB.php". However, they do not have the pear package manager installed. Without having to go through installing PEAR in a different place and modifying the php.ini INCLUDE parameter, can I simply upload the needed *.php packages as they are used on my local machine? For exmaple, I need XML/RSS.php. Can I add a copy of my local RSS.php to the existing XML directory on the server and that work fine? I know it would be MUCH better and easier to maintain if the package manager were installed but I don't know if I want to go through that if I don't have to. If it's not that big of deal to install and secure that new folder, tell me that and how to secure it so it's only readable from the localhost. Many thanks for your insight. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
