I'm trying to install PECL in particular the PDO library, manually. I'm having a bit of difficulty.
Any suggestion on where a comprehensive step wise procedure for completing this could be found would be gratly appreciated.

you should only have to drop the DLL and any other required DLL's into the PHP extensions folder then add the "extension=php_pdo.dll" lines to php.ini ... afterwhich, restart the server so it can update its load list..

I'm trying this right now. But I think i'm shooting in the dark here. I don't know where to go from where I am. How do I download the PECL for php 5.0.5. I'm reading so many different versions of the download and setup porcedure, I don't know which to use.....
I'm working on windows 2000, Apache 2, Php 5.0.5 and I have the latest version of PEAR - where do i go from here.

unpack the archive, place all the extensions into your php install's extension directory. The extension=... stuff found on the PDO manual page is what you should either uncomment or place into your php.ini in the extension section so that php can try to find them when loading..
