Pear....can not find include path

I'm working on the threaded news system tutorial on this site
http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/303/2

I'm getting an error message
Failed opening required 'db.php" (inlcude_path='.;c:\php4\pear')

Here is the code I'm using
<?php
ini_set('register_globals', 0);
ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc', 0);

require_once 'DB.php';
//require the PEAR:B classes.

Any suggestions?

Make sure you have pear installed at:

C:\php4\pear

or, that you have the pear folder, in the same directory as your script

i dont have a pear folder...can i downloaded this at php.net ?

ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/pear/pear-4.1.0.zip

I can never seem to find it on php.net for some reason...

thank you!
i downloaded the files into my c:\php folder

when it looks for the file... it says cannot find path c:\php4

should i rename my folder to php4? or will this mess things up?

Look at your inculde path in PHP.INI,

Make it look something like this:

include_path = ".;c:\Server\php\;c:\Server\php\pear"

So in your case,

include_path = ".;c:\php;c:\php\pear"

i still cant find it

(inlcude_path='.;c:\php4\pear')

i was looking for php4 in the php.ini file

ok..i found the line and typed your line in...
now i get

undefined variable db_object

i rechecked the code and i dont see a typo...could this error be because of the path issue i had to begin with?

YOu get this when you run the script?

Put



at the top of your script, and see if it makes a difference

Thank you. That litte error reporting worked. What should that do? Just email me any error messages?

I had removed the line with the $db_object before you posted and it worked too.

Thanks for your help.
