Re: Difficulty using PEAR with windows32

the include directory that you need to add to php.ini is c:\php\pear mine looks like this include_path = ".;c:\php\pear" see here http://uk.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.phpini for more details of where the php.ini file should be kept At 12:42 14/11/2002 -0500, John Soares wrote:

Gentlemen: I installed php/apache/mysql using the ephp package. I want to use PEAR and notice that the PEAR files seem to be in the c:\php directory. I put this directory in my include_path statement in my php.ini file(the one found in the c:\php directory. When I try to connect to the database, I get a "db not found" error. I know there is nothing wrong with my database, since I have used the username, password, and database name using php API commands. Here is the sample file I use: <? $user = "jsoares"; $pass = "39847029"; $hostname = "localhost"; $database = "bookstore"; $dbms = "mysql"; require ("DB.php"); $db = DB::connect("$dbms://$user:$pass@$hostname/$database"); if (DB::isError($db)) { die ($db->getMessage()); } $sql = "select * from books where price > 22";

    $resultback = DB_result($sql, $result);

while ($row = $resultback->fetchRow()) { echo "$row <br>"; } $db->disconnect(); ?> What could be wrong? I'm wasting a lot of time trying to find this out! Thanks. John Soares mailto:johnsoares285@hotmail.com
