RE: [PEAR] Fatal error...sometimes

I've had the same problem trying to use PEAR on a shared server. One solution seems to be to put ini_set("include_path", "ini_get(include_path)"); in an init somewhere, or to explicitly set the include_path in your .htaccess. I found, while trying to debug this problem, that both php_info and ini_get would report the correct include_path, but including code from the system-wide include path would always fail unless I did the above hack. There's an old PHP bug regarding this kind of behaviour - http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15374 - with 4.2.1, but I'm getting it with 4.2.3 as well HTH - Patrick > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Karason [mailto:robbik@robbik.net] > Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 2:49 PM > To: pear-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PEAR] Fatal error...sometimes > > > Hi, > > I've recently installed Tiki > (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tikiwiki/) on > my website.
