Can Anyone Help Install Pear?

[erisande]

Hello!

 

I am interested in installing PEAR. I attempted to install using go-pear, but I just couldn't get it to connect to the database. If anyone out there has some good basic instructions on how to install it here in TCH, I would be very happy to hear it.

 

Also, if you have any words of advice or warning, feel free to include them.

 

Thanks!

PEAR is on the server, were you after a specific module though? Since not all module are installed. Open a ticket with your requirements / issue and we'll see if we can help get you sorted.

Ok, I may do that soon. I don't know a whole lot about pear, but I find that it may make my database stuff easier.

 

If anyone has a quick piece of script with working code which connects to a database. Of course, please hide your username and passsword.

 

Thanks again for the response!

I found out that the connection string definitions I found on the internet were not working for me. But this one did:

 

>$dsn = "mysql://$db_user:$db_pass@unix+$db_host/$db_name";

I hope that helps someone. That was all I needed to get this thing moving!
