Re: Using Pear: How To?

If it doesn't compile, will I get any warnings? I didn't check that I had the other packages, but I did the install and I got no warnings. Second, how do I access it in a .php file? If I use a dl(), what is the argument? I looked for a pecl_http.so on my system, but I don't have one (indicating that it didn't compile)? And, I am looking at Synaptic, but I don't see a pecl_http package in there... missing a possible multiverse entry?
