I'll stick this PEAR up your...

Post by 8ennett »

Hey guys, sorry to ask this but it's been a problem I've had all day and has caused me to pause my current project.

I can't get PEAR to install correctly and need some help. I've searched the web and can't find anything that's of any help or anyone has come across this problem before.

If I install PEAR with the current PHP MSI then the CMD does not read the PEAR command like it does with PHP. I would add it to the PATH but there is no pear.bat file. If I don't install it with PHP and install it manually afterwards, the PEAR command works in the prompt but it brings up a PHP ERROR dialogue everytime I use the PEAR command. The error is 'Invalid Configuration Directive'.

Am I just doing something wrong or is there more going on?

Also, I'm only trying to set PEAR up so I can use the MAIL package. All I want to do is send out a verification email when you register with my site and the mail(); function just isn't capable of doing the job properly.

Thanks
