downloading pear packages

red
I'm using windows xp. I have installed pear packages on my server by
using the command line, which seems to be the only way to do it.
However, I want to reinstall a packege. If I try, I get a meassage
saying the package is already installed. For example, even if I delete
upload.php, it says http_upload is already installed. Where is it
getting this information about what is installed from ? How do I
reinstall a package?

Type "pear" at the command line and you will see a list of options.

There are 2 options which are of interest to you:

pear uninstall package_name (to uninstall a package)
pear upgrade package_name (to upgrade a package)

I have a book which had code that includes the line: require 'DB.php'; I know that this is from the PEAR code modules, but when I downloaded them and unpacked the directory, they "DB.php" module does not exist. Is this out of date or do I need to go somewhere else to get this extra module? Thanks

On the PEAR site, the page for each package lists other packages that are dependent on it. That's nice, but is there way to determine which other packages the package itself depends on? It seems to me that would be much more useful information. So far, the only way I can see is to load the package, see what require()s fail, then try to figure out which packages those files belong to. Surely there's a better way? -- Alan Little Phorm...

Hi all, I've been using PHP for a while now but I haven't actually used PEAR. I have just read half a chapter in a book, it sounds alright but haven't actually used it. I was just wondering, is it really necessary to use PEAR? I usually get things done using PHP/MySQL. I don't know if I'm really missing out on something by not using PEAR. How highly is it recommended? On most job ads, i don't even see them mentioning PEAR. They mostly...

Re: only got "pear.old_bat" I had a previous post "..

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
