That path should be a single quoted string like PATH_SEPARATOR . '/path/to/pear/' I believe. @PaulS – yeah, actually I think I have a missing one at the beginning of the path. That path should be a single quoted string like PATH_SEPARATOR . ‘/path/to/pear/’ I believe.

I've had trouble getting pear to work on my shared host (they claim it's installed, but it keeps 'breaking' and I'm tired of the back and forth). I put my include path in the .htaccess file and hey presto! One thing: shouldn't there be a ' in front of the /path/to/pear/' code above? Thanks again, Paul Hi John,

You're obviously totally right that usually some googling will result in some results. But I want to become a programmer and I read somewere that good programmes are lazy ;) And if you did the hard work already... why not ask? No, serious, really appreciated. I already see some interesting links on the delicious page. John, thanks a lot for the links. You’re obviously totally right that usually some googling will result in some results.

You can also check out my <a href="http://del.icio.us/jnunemaker/pear" rel="nofollow">delicious links tagged with PEAR</a>. These are the resources I use the most. Usually if I can't figure something out, I just search for PEAR and whatever I want to do on Google. If you look hard enough you can find examples. I have been using my <a href="http://addictedtonew.com/archives/82/php-and-mysql-table-wrapper/" rel="nofollow">PHP/MySQL table wrapper</a> of late. I like it better than PEAR, but it is only for MySQL. @Matthijs – I have an article on Net_FTP. You can also check out my delicious links tagged with PEAR. These are the resources I use the most.

Could you give a simple example? For example, how would I use the DB class from pear? I tried to find an example on the PEAR site, but that documentation is quite confusing, to say the least ;) And the example given in the php anthology book isn't very clear either, unforunately. Maybe you know some good resources to learn more about using pear? Thanks. Hi John,

If you have any problems, let me know. This has worked great for me on several hosts and with several projects. Be sure to update the PEAR classes after you get everything working. The files in the zip above are outdated I am sure. Updating is nothing, just download the new files and upload them over the old files. Matthijs,

I have tried working with PEAR, but until now without any succes. I'm on a shared host and although PEAR is installed it's impossible to include the files!! After a lot of mails with the guys from the host and several unsuccesfull solutions I gave up. Until now, as I'll try again with your package. Thanks, Matthijs Hi John,
