I installed the Pear program and set the include path in php.ini to
point to the pear dir. I have a program which

<?
require_once("DB.php");

?>

This produces the error "Class 'PEAR_Error' not found in
c:\PHP\pear\PEAR\DB.php on line 868"

This is from defining an error class in the DB module that comes from
the PEAR.php module. Even though the DB.php has a require for the
PEAR.php, it appears that it is not being included .

I tried

<?
require_once("PEAR.php");
require_once("DB.php");

?>

but this does not appear to work wither.

I am lost if this is an issue with the Pear install, my system or PHP
setup, or just evil code!

I am running Win2k with Apache.

Also, when I do manually install PEAR.php, I sometimes get an runtime
error from Apache.
