Can't get packageInfo in Apache

[st]

Hi all,

I can't get packageInfo of some packages installed on my system(Fedora
Core 3 with bundled httpd and php):

# pear list
Installed packages:
===================
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.1 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2 stable
DB 1.7.4 stable
DB_Pager 0.7 stable
HTTP 1.2.2 stable
Log 1.8.7 stable
Mail 1.1.3 stable
Mail_Mime 1.2.1 stable
Net_SMTP 1.2.6 stable
Net_Socket 1.0.1 stable
PEAR 1.3.2 stable
XML_Parser 1.0.1 stable
XML_RPC 1.1.0 stable

I've a simple script to check existing of these modules:
--------------------- cut here -----------------
<?php

include_once ("PEAR/Remote.php"); // PEAR::Remote
include_once ("PEAR/Registry.php"); // PEAR::Registry

$pear = new PEAR_Config();
$pear_reg = new PEAR_Registry($pear->get('php_dir'));
$pear_info = $pear_reg->packageInfo("PEAR");
$pear_version = $pear_info["version"];
print("PEAR Version:" . $pear_version . "\n");
$Log_info = $pear_reg->packageInfo("Log");
if (strlen($Log_info["package"]) < 2) {
print("Can't find Log module\n");
} else {
print("Log module found\n");
}
?>
--------------------- cut here -----------------

It works if passing to php directly in bash. However, some of modules
can't be located using this method (DB and Log) when run it through
Apache. Would anyone pls help? My PEAR config follows.
