[moved] PAMP & PEAR?

[Grismar]

Hello all, new to these forums, so be gentle .

I've looked around but was unable to find someone else discussing PEAR on PAMP. Has nobody even tried this or is it so simple that it does not warrant discussion and I have missed something?

Looking at the phpinfo() for my PAMP, I see c:\php5\pear as part of the environment, but I see no such folder when browsing the file system over Bluetooth. It seems to suggest PEAR is packaged with PAMP, but what should I do to access it?

I've also attempted to get a fresh copy of PEAR to work on the phone, but the main thing I dislike about PEAR is coming back to haunt me: the installation script. Instead of relying on centralized settings, PEAR has an installer that (re)writes many files in the PEAR tree and the go-pear.php doesn't run.

My question then:
- anyone have any clues on how to get PEAR to work on PAMP?

Thanks, greetings,
Grismar.

Thanks for moving the thread, I noticed this board too late.

I've made some headway, in that I've solved a number of other problems. It turned out that I needed to get sessions to work for the PEAR application I was trying to use. So, I put together a user-defined sessions mechanism on top of MySQL, since sessions do not appear to work be default for PAMP. (it is set to 'user', so there might be some call I'm not making that I should, but I bypassed it)

I've simply copied all the PEAR packages and related files I needed to the htdocs of my PAMP and removed any references to the local system I could find, which appears to be working.

I am now on my way, any further suggestions are still welcome though...
