Generally, each pear package contains a set of php files. By default
they're installed in the pear folder hierarchy. Once installed you have to
ensure that the include_path directive in your php.ini contains that path.
Then you can include the files as per usual.
From the manual:
"include_path string
Specifies a list of directories where the require(), include() and
fopen_with_path() functions look for files. The format is like the
system's PATH environment variable: a list of directories separated
with a colon in Unix or semicolon in Windows.
Example G-1. Unix include_path
include_path=".:/php/includes"
Example G-2. Windows include_path
include_path=".;c:\php\includes"
Using a . in the include path allows for relative includes as it means
the current directory."
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php
So, assuming you're on windows and your pear directory is in c:\php\pear,
you'd edit the include_path directive in your php.ini to read:
include_path=".;c:\php\includes;c:\php\pear"
If you're using apache you'll want to restart it for the changes to take
effect.
Now in your scripts, you can include any pear packages you've installed
exactly like the documentation for the package specifies.
