Installing PEAR

I'm new to this -- be kind ;)

I finally got PHP working with Windows, IIS, MySQL. I believe this is known as a WIMP installation.

I then learned I would need Pear working as well. After struggling for a week with php-5.2.0-Win32.zip, I finally found a site acknowledging the errors I was getting and downloaded php-5.2.1-Win32.zip. This actually installed -- which I recorded as progress.

I then ran go-pear.bat, downloaded and ran go-pear.php, which also seemed to run fine.

I have PHP and Pear loaded in the directories C:php and C:phppear

I am specifically looking to use Pear for mail, and so I ran a sample script --

<?php

include("Mail.php");

$recipients = "me@me.com";

$headers["From"] = "form@me.com";
$headers["To"] = "me@me.com";
$headers["Subject"] = "Form Response";

$mailmsg = "Test Mail";

$smtpinfo["host"] = "smtpout.secureserver.net";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "form@me.com";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "password";

$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);

$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $mailmsg);

echo "Finished";
?>

Here's the response I get when I run in the browser --

Warning: require_once(DB.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:Inetpubwwwroottestpear.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;c:php;c:phppear') in C:Inetpubwwwroottestpear.php on line 2

Any ideas?

Try this in cmd: pear install db

This will install the required DB package.

If you already have installed DB, then it might be a path problem.
