Re: PEAR installation (on shared account)

Most of the packages will work just by including the files from a directory in your web space... although you may need extensions complied into PHP which aren't always available, but that's usually for the more obscure packages. Also, you might need to change the odd include line in the PEAR files, but fixing that is being discussed on the dev list at the moment, and should be fixed in the next release of most maintained packages. Hope that helps you, if not, feel free to follow this up with a cry for help :P Jon Wood ----- Original Message ----- From: "SJR" <sjr@gmx.co.uk> To: <pear-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 2:51 PM Subject: [PEAR] PEAR installation (on shared account) > Hi all, > > > I am thinking about rebuilding my shopping system (currently > www.mp3shopper.nl and www.fotoshopper.nl are using it) to use some PEAR > modules (DB, DB_DataObject, HTML_Template_Flexy). > However, this shopping system will need to be implemented on servers > with 'shared' account access, meaning that I won't have root access, or > even access to php cli. > It is possible to use PEAR just by including some .php files, or does it > need to be compiled?
