Probably a dumb question but I'm new to PEAR.

Howdy, I'd like to set up an intranet system that can use either a PostGreSQL backend (prefered) or a MSSQL7 one if I run in to trouble( being a newbie to PostGreSQL).. PHP postgres functions work fine, but I'd like to use PEAR DB to make life easier (Ha!) I'm running Mandrake 7.1, PHP 4.06 & PostGreSQL 7.2 I've grabbed the PEAR files from the latest PHP 4.1.2 tar ball (as mandrake doesn't include them) and put them in the include path.. Now I've tested : $db=DB::connect($dsn); and this connects fine with no errors. $db->disconnect(); also works fine... BUT anything inbetween causes a parser error ? i.e. $sql=("select * from users2;"); $result=$db->query($sql); will cause PARSE ERROR on line..... What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.
