Re: Re: Basic Install issue - Missing PEAR class?

Hi, I am using the below include path in my php ini config, however certain files such as pear/registry.php refuse to work unless the path to pear.php is altered. include_path = ".;c:\wamp\php\PEAR" Its a strange issue, apart from this the setup was smooth. Thanks, Paul Justin Patrin wrote:

Hi, Thanks for the tip Greg. Upon a fresh install the same problem is occurring but affecting the pear/registry.php file. It is absolutely path related. I had to change the registry.php file line 26 to - require_once 'PEAR/PEAR.php'; When I do that I can run scripts but THEN when I try to use the pear package manager by command line it doesn't work. I have to change that line back to require_once 'PEAR.php'; To get the command line aspects of pear working. Its prety bizaare. This is a default installation of the latest version using go-pear.php. I suppose thats good enough if I can get the live server version going without having to change that line everytime I run something/add more packages to pear.

Don't alter the require_once paths. Just set your include_path correctly. Run phpinfo() in a script on your website and see what the include_path is. Then check where the php.ini is and go edit that one to fix the path.

Also another basic newby question - I am getting the config info displaying on every page, where is the flag to turn it off?

What config info?

Hi, I have a minor pathing problem which is preventing me from using PEAR, hopefully somone will have an idea as to where I went wrong. :) I Installed using go-pear.php on a windows box via the command line. Everything seemed to work perfectly. I installed into the wamp folder. (wamp is a apache/php/mysql package) C: \WAMP \ PHP \PEAR I added the registry code (PEAR_ENV.reg) and also added the include path to PHP - *include_path = ".;C:\wamp\php\PEAR"* Every script I run leads to the following error - *" Fatal error: Class 'PEAR' not found in **C:\wamp\php\PEAR\PEAR\Config.php on line **196 "* I checked the config.php file and it has a require 'PEAR.php'; which should be grabbing the pear class. The path is correct from the config to the PEAR.php file (same directory). Other files (info.php) have done the same thing as well. This is a default pear installation, no paths were edited. The class appears to be included in the config file, its just not seeing it. do I need to move the config file, move the pear class? Any suggestions greatly appreciated :)

Try adding: var_dump(get_included_files()); right before line 196, and see if PEAR.php is being included from the location you think it is. I suspect that there is a file named "pear.php" somewhere in the current directory that is being included instead of C:\wamp\php\PEAR\PEAR.php Greg
