PHP :: How To Include PEAR In Php.ini?

Pear Package Sub-include
I was trying the pear package on my local winmachine and noticed that one of the includes has a backslash

<?php
include('Mail.php');
include('Mailmime.php');

is this a path backslash? i.e. if I access pair on my linux server, do I have to put a forward slash in between Mail and mime? such as Mail/ mime.php Or does the slash have another meaning? I haven't found a lot of pear documentation and the one I am reading has that slash, which I'm not sure is for any host or just for win.

Include PEAR DB Framework Using PHP 5.0.4 On Windows 2000
Get the following errors when trying to include PEAR DB framework using
PHP 5.0.4 on Windows 2000 with Apache 2.

Warning: main(PEAR-1.3.3/DB/DB.php) [function.main]: failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in E:Program FilesApache

'PEAR-1.3.3/DB/DB.php' (include_path='.includes;.') in E:Program

The include_path config variable looks like this:
include_path = ".includes;."

PHP is installed in
e:php-5.0.4
and the PEAR Class defs are in
e:php-5.0.4includesPEAR-1.3.3DBDB.php

The includes that fail are:
include_once("PEAR-1.3.3/DB/DB.php");

These worked with 4.4.0, but fail with 5.0.4 ...

PEAR::SOAP Installed, But Script Execution Just Stops On Include
i have PEAR::SOAP installed correctly (beta, all dependent packages are
installed). When i try out the following simple Script

<?php
print "Include is ... ";
include_once("SOAP/Server.php");
print " ok!";
?>

the Server only outputs "Include is...". The PEAR-Packages are
includable, i checked all server settings, nothing is wrong with the
apache/php config, so it must be another problem which i can't figure
out. The Server does not report any errors at all when executing the
test-script above. I have the same problem on my local machine (XAMPP
installation, using PHP4), so i think it's a problem with PEAR::SOAP
and not a server config.

Running on a linux machine with Apache 2 and PHP 4.3.8.

===================
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2 stable
DB 1.7.6 stable

Search Script - Warning: Include(usr/local/lib/php/index.php) [function.include]: Failed To Open Stream:
A while ago I installed a script. It all worked just fine untill my host upgraded the servers. Since that moment I have an error message when I try to do a search.

Include Or Virtual Include: Neither Work For Subfolders
my includes files are all in my /ssi directory. I have many subfolders that call those includes files. Let's say I have a file like this:

/news/world/asia/thailand/index.php

In order to (relatively) call a file in the /ssi directory I have to use the following code:

<?php
include ("../../../../ssi/html-lang.htm");
?>

This is ridiculous. Everytime I make a new subfolder I don't want to have to add "../" to it. I heard about "virtual" includes but I'm not sure the syntax I'm using is correct (all I do is put 'virtual' after 'include'). Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to change the .htacess file? Help me please I'm going crazy. I don't want to resort to absolute referencing...

Using Include() To Include A Remote Function
This is an issue that's been bothering me for a while. When I use include() or require() to include a page that contains a function, the function will not operate.

However, if I take that function and put it directly into the page, it works.

This seems to hold true for any function that I attempt to insert/define using include(), even when I make sure that all required variables are defined on the page beforehand.

Does anyone know why this would happen or how to work around it?

Include A Scalar In My Include Argument?

Error Says Can't See Include File, Yet Executes Some Code On Include File
I am using an include_once() command to include a file that sits a
level above the file view.php. when the code is run, I have an error
as follows:

Warning: include_once(../common.php) [function.include-once]: failed
to open stream: No such file or directory in C:Program Files..
view.php on line 2

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '../
common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:Program Filesxamppphp
pear') in C:Program Files...view.php on line 2

The include command is simply: include_once(../common.php) - the '../'
before the 'common.php' to indicate a level above the current file
level. Is this right? I could not find a resource to confirm this.

The strange thing is that while the error seems to imply that the
calling file, view.php cannot 'see' the common.php file, other
functions called from the 'common.php' file executes correctly and on
the same calling file/page (view.php).

Appears to the a double take - quite confusing -

How Does The "./" Part Of The Include Affect The Ability To Include?
I'm working with a script written by someone else, in which all of their includes are written as: include("./file.php");

I'm currently trying to include these files into other files, and am getting "failed to open required file" errors. I do NOT want to go through and modify all these files to remove the "./" part of the includes (which I understand means the current root directory, yes?).

I've tried setting the include path using set_include_path, but it's still saying it can't find the files. If I'm setting the full directory path with set_include_path, how does the "./" part of the include affect the ability to include? Any help or suggestions?

PEAR DB Help
I am currently running Windows XP Pro with PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.0 installed. My remote server is a UNIX system with PHP 5.1 installed and MySQL 5.0 installed. Here is the code I'm trying to run:

// Load up the PEAR DB class //
$this->mysql = DB::connect(sprintf("%s://%s:%s@%s/%s", TYPE, USERNAME, PASSWORD, HOST, DATABASE));
echo "hello";

On my computer it works perfectly fine, returns a db_mysql class and no errors. On my server it does nothing. I put echo "hello" there as a test, and when I run the script I don't even see "hello" get printed to the screen, for some reason it's just screwing the entire script up. I checked the USERNAME, PASSWORD, etc. values against the ones I have in CPANEL and they match. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

OOP And Pear::DB
I am currently working on a PHP application which I am using as a
personal learning environment for getting a better working
understanding about how to tackle application development in an OOP/MVC
pattern fashion.

I am using PEAR::DB to create database connection objects, and my major
question concerns where these objects should be created.

For example: Let's say I have a login application that that has a
controller-like script that looks something like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// login.php
<?php
require_once('User.class.php');

$user = new $User;
$user->getAdminRights();
?>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....and a model-like User class that looks something like this: (The
important note is that I may need to load data multiple times from a
database.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// User.class.php
<?php

class User
{
public $user_name;
public $user_id;
public $admin_rights = array();
protected $db_connection;

function __construct()
{
if (!this->db_connection){
require_once();
$this->db_connection = DB::connect(DB_DSN);
}

$sql = "SELECT USERNAME, USER_ID FROM SOME_TABLE...";
$result = $this->dbh->getAll($sql, array($this->request_id);
$this->user_name = $result['USERNAME'];
$this->user_id = $result['USER_ID'];
}

function getAdminRights()
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM SOME_TABLE WHERE ADMIN_ID = ?";
$this->admin_rights = $this->dbh->getAll($sql,
array($this->user_id);
}

}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PEAR: Is It Really Necessary?

have just read half a chapter in a book, it sounds alright but haven't
actually used it. I was just wondering, is it really necessary to use
PEAR? I usually get things done using PHP/MySQL. I don't know if I'm
really missing out on something by not using PEAR. How highly is it
recommended? On most job ads, i don't even see them mentioning PEAR.
They mostly just say PHP/MySQL.. Why is that? Don't people like PEAR

To Pear DB Or Not To Pear DB?
i'm developing a small web app for a non-profit i'm affiliated with and i'm not sure if i want to use the pear DB abstraction layer or not. i've got a simple page currently developed w/o it, so all my database calls are using MySQL specific functions.
i know that using the pear DB is good if, say, we end up changing databases down the road, but i highly doubt we will.

i mean, MySQL isn't going anywhere, right? anyhow, i just simply don't like pear DB. maybe the fact that it took me a friggin hour to install it has something to do w/ that. also, i'm re-writing the simplest of code using DB functions and i'm having a hell of a time, probably b/c i have nothing but a cheesy pear manual to go by.

<? Error_reporting (E_ALL) ;?> Which shows that my â€œrequireâ€ for DB.PHP class does not find it. How can I find if PEAR is made available? And if it is. Is the directory that contains the PEAR files included in my include_path in my php.ini. And if so do I have to provide a path?

PHP 5 And PEAR
I've been using PHP for a while now - and have recently been trying to set up PHP, MySQL and Apache on Windows (for a client). It seems like all the PEAR stuff under PHP 5 doesn't work out of the box. It took me a while to track down the go-pear.bat file in the root - what with all the other garbage in there. Shouldn't this file get at least a mention in:

install.txt and /PEAR/go-pear.php

The installation instructions in /PEAR/go-pear.php for Windows seem rather out of date - and sent me off in totally the wrong direction :-

PEAR Doesn't Seem To Be Working
I installed PHP with PEAR support on my Windows computer. I tried the
snippet of the book "Learning PHP5":

<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
echo "test";
include 'DB.php'
$db = DB::connect('mysql://penguin:top^hat@db.example.com/restaurant');
if (DB::isError($db)) { die("Can't connect: " . $db->getMessage( )); }
?>

But it only prints "test", it should display an error message saying
it's not able to connect to the DB. Do you know why nothing happens?
Also, I think there should be a real "DB.php" file, correct? What
should I put into this file? Or is it only a line "as is", that doesn't
mean there needs a "DB.php" file?

PEAR DB 1.6.0 Has Been Released
[This has be cross-posted. Be careful when following up, please.]

Greetings:

Crack open the beer, PEAR DB 1.6.0 is here! (Hey, I'm a bit giddy
with excitement that my intense work during the past seven weeks
has come to fruition.)

For those unfamiliar with PEAR DB, it's a package of PHP classes
that provide an object oriented API with common methods of accessing
thirteen of PHP's database driver extensions:
dBase, FrontBase, InterBase, Informix, mSQL, MS SQL Server,
MySQL, Oracle, ODBC (tested with DB2 and Access), PostgreSQL,
SQLite and Sybase.

Key links for PEAR DB:

Download: http://pear.php.net/get/DB
Change Log: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=DB
Manual: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.php
Home Page: http://pear.php.net/package/DB

Notable changes since 1.5.0RC2 include:

* New portability features, making it possible to write
applications which can be easily ported between DBMS's.

* Tons of bug fixes, making the package actually work for more
than just MySQL systems.

* Improved error reporting.

* Getting prepare/execute to work the same way for all DBMS's
and allow escaping of placeholder characters.

* Deploying tableInfo() in more drivers and officially moving
it from DB_result to DB_common. See the documentation for
proper usage.

* Making the test suite simpler to use and work on both
windows and *nix platforms.

* Various optimizations, several of which were uncovered
using Zend Studio's Code Analyzer.

* Countless documentation corrections.

* Full PHP 5 compatibility.

* Requiring PHP to be at version 4.2.0 or higher.

* Deprecating quote() and quoteString().

If you're one of the lucky few people using PHP's mysqli extension,
do note that the DB file/class has been renamed from mysql4 to mysqli,
but the online documentation won't reflect this modification until
they're rebuilt on Sunday. Similarly, there are a few other features

PEAR::Config
I'm writing a little app for my personal use and want to store the
configuration data in an xml file. I found PEAR::Config that lets
me read the config data into my app. But so far, I haven't figured
out how to get modifcations back to the xml file.

Here's what I've got so far. I ran across this basic code in an article
at DevShed.

<?php
require_once 'Config.php'

$conf = new Config;
$root =& $conf->parseConfig('/usr/local/apache/myapp.xml', 'XML');

if (PEAR::isError($root)) {
die('Error while reading configuration: ' . $root->getMessage());
}

$settings = $root->toArray();

printf('User settings ');
printf('============= ');
printf('dbhost: %s ',$settings['root']['connect']['dbhost']);
printf('dbuser: %s ',$settings['root']['connect']['dbuser']);
printf('dbpass: %s ',$settings['root']['connect']['dbpass']);
printf('dbname: %s ',$settings['root']['connect']['dbname']);

$conf->writeConfig('/usr/local/apache/myapp.xml', 'XML');
?>

What I want to able to do is modify the values in the settings array (not
the problem) and the write them back out to the xml file.

I understand that it takes all the data from the root level and assigns it
to an array called $settings. What I'm having trouble with is getting
$settings back to the file.

Has anyone else used PEAR::Config doing this sort of thing?
