To summarize: I'm giving a complete path (starting with /) to the .ini file;
plus I'm forcing PHP to use my chosen Pear, also with a complete path.
Thanks for this tip -- I had actually gone into all of the relevant files and set the ini_set(include path stuff) manually, but I'll try that script now!
Our config files look similar, except I'm also using the extends
feature with excellent results. This is kind of an aside, but having
the custom base class ("extends" and "extends_location") has been a
huge help for my project, whose class model makes use of all three
layers of data object inheritance. If anyone needs details, I can
summarize how this feature works; the manual could use a little more
material on this subject to encourage more people to use it.
Would love to know more about this -- it did look interesting, but as you say, the Manual doesn't really say much about it!
