Well, I guess that is just the beginning. Basically, I don't understand how this works at all. We have a Solaris box which has Apache and apparently some version of PEAR. The PHP version is 4.2.3. I basically want to run the SOAP package but I need to have the installer do it right. This is what I get when I run PEAR install <file>.tgz PHP Notice: Undefined index: argv in /usr/local/lib/php/Console/Getopt.php on line 207 PHP Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in /usr/local/lib/php/Console/Getopt.php on line 208 Could not read cmd args (register_argc_argv=Off?) Usage: pear [options] command [command-options] <parameters> Type "pear help options" to list all options. Type "pear help <command>" to get the help for the specified command. Commands: login logout config-show config-get config-set install uninstall upgrade package package-info package-list package-validate cvstag list-installed shell-test remote-package-info list-upgrades list-remote-packages Nothing in my environment points to any include file for php or pear. Do I need it? What am I missing? Thanks you so much!!! Willie
