Re: installing PEAR standalone/non-root

Got me what that "make" command is about. PEAR is a collection of PHP files, not source code requiring compilation. Include can NOT be done in .htaccess (PHP doesn't parse .htaccess - it's for Apache only), but I do know you can override the php.ini's include path in your PHP file to include the directory where you put your PEAR files. (Since I've got root access on my machine, I can just download it to /usr/share/lib/php/lib/php/pear and add that to php.ini myself. For you though, I think what you need is... $incpath = ini_get("include_path"); // Add path to PEAR $incpath .= ":/home/{YOUR_DIR}/{PATH_TO_PEAR}"; // Remove :: if incpath already had a : at end $incpath = str_replace("::", ":", $incpath); // Set the new include path ini_set("include_path", $incpath); This is assuming the host doesn't have the security set to where you can't pull php.ini's values.
