PHP Pear

[rcouser]

Hello,

I am having real problems using pear on shared host.

I have installed a local version of pear at http://mydomain/php/PEAR/ and tried to include it into my page using

<?php
ini_set(
  'include_path',
  ini_get( 'include_path' ) . PATH_SEPARATOR . "/home/server/mydomain/php/PEAR/"
);

set_include_path(
    get_include_path() .
    PATH_SEPARATOR . '/home/server/mydomain/php/PEAR/'
);

// include PEAR mail classes
    include('Mail.php');
    include('Mail/Mime.php');
?>

 

I receive the following errors

Warning: require(Mail/Mime.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/local/home/server/mydomain/send_newsletter.php on line 16

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Mail/Mime.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/server/mydomain/php/PEAR/:/home/server/mydomain/php/PEAR/') in /mnt/local/home/server/mydomain/send_newsletter.php on line 16

 

Can someone please help, I have search and followed many different tutorials but still cant get it to work.

Thanks

PEAR on a shared host is a real headache! I've felt the pain from my own experience, and at least with my host, I would not attempt it again. At least in my experience, I was not able to install PEAR correctly, and had to have the host do it. Installation is not hard, but I believe you need special priveledges, like sudo/admin.

I have already asked my host and they replied

Sadly, as this is a third party application, we cant really assist you in

troubleshooting.

I really need help on this.

If PEAR is a must, you might change hosts to one that offers PEAR, like inmotionhosting.com. This is the host that I am currently using, and they are the best that I have worked with so far. I'm not going to say they are perfect, because no host is, but so far so good for me.

If there is no PEAR i would change hosting!

this is a third party application

???

I could say that all software is a third party application ...
