RE: Help - Pear DB_DataObjects

Thank you for the quick response! I have Pear installed, but I am using Windows so I don't think I can update it in the way you said. But your second point is probably where my problem is - I haven't done this & am not really sure what to do with the code? Where do I put it / execute it? Does it go in the DataObject.php file?

That loads the db.ini file into a static variable (stored and fetched using PEAR::getStaticProperty(), so that it can be read at any time by the DB_DataObject class. - it allows you to load the config without having to load DataObjects.
