PEAR DB question

[sphiro]

I have been trying to follow along with a tutorial on creating a PHP login script, which uses PEAR DB classes. However, once everything is set up and I atempt to run any of the .php files I get the following error:

Warning: main(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\php4\pear\DB.php on line 30

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\php4\pear\DB.php on line 30

This is the tutorial link: [free2code.net...]

Does anyone have any idea or any suggestions on how to correct this and what the problem may be?

Any input is greatly appriciated.

Does c:\php4\pear exist? Is there a PEAR.php file in it?

HTH,
BAD

Yes, the directory exists.
I found the problem and it was that the .zip file did not contain PEAR.php, so I downloaded separately.

However, I have another problem now:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: loadextension() in c:\php4\pear\DB\mysql.php on line 195

How can this be corrected?

sounds like a file isn't included or does not exist.

you need to find out where that function actually lives and make sure the script has access to it somehow.

Possibly altering 'php.ini' and adding an 'include_path' for the directory?

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

This is what I see in php.ini, would the addition of such a path be:
;include_path = ".;c:\php4\pear"?

Also would I need to remove the ';' to 'uncomment' it?

[jatar_k]

that could be it

try uncommenting it (yes, removing the ; ) and see if that helps
