I would like to suggest that you start with this resource: http://www.php.net/manual/en and read it from cover to cover, and then come back here. Please do this before posting your next question, as you will discover all kinds of amazing resources and features that the PHP documentation team has been hard at work documenting for many years. PEAR is only intended to augment what is already available internally through PHP. In addition, you might google "php tutorial" to get started. In short, without a basic understanding of how PHP works, you won't have an ice cube's chance in hell when you try to start using PEAR. You may also find the archives of php-general useful, as this question is asked there every few months (a google search of "php-general archives" or a look at beeblex.com should do) Greg
