View Full Version : PEAR Anybody?

I was just doing some searching around on the IH forums to see if any body has used PEAR on shared servers.

I found this thread, but needless to say it looked like a bit of a daunting task to install on a shared directory without ssh:

I know the version of PHP currently installed (4.3) comes default with some PEAR features, but I'm not sure how to access them, or if it is even the basic PEAR installation.

Has IH considered installing a fully functional version of PEAR (with maybe a posted link to the pear package listing to see what is installed) - as well as an explanation of where to set the include paths to access the library? :P

I'm a total pear newbie, but it'd be great to have this resource to hand for future developments.

uhh...nevermind

(anybody wanting to utilize this, if you just execute this php script, it all the downloading and installation for you. Have to change your public_html folder to 0777 when installing).

gotta' love the open source community :)
