Hello all:
I'm a definite newbie to PHP.  What I'm trying to do is to create a user 
database on my organization's web site.  It's hosted by hostcentric.com.  The 
first thing I did was to request that hostcentric create a mySQL database for 
me.  Then I uploaded a sample PHP file from a login tutorial and tried to 
execute it.  This is the PHP file:

<?php

//require the PEAR::DB classes.

require_once 'DB.php';


$db_engine = 'mysql';
$db_user = 'XXXX';
$db_pass = 'YYYYYYYY';
$db_host = 'ieeepacn.com';
$db_name = 'ZZZZZZZ';

$datasource = $db_engine.'://'.
			  $db_user.':'.
			  $db_pass.'@'.
		 	  $db_host.'/'.
	  		  $db_name;


$db_object = DB::connect($datasource, TRUE);

/* assign database object in $db_object, 

if the connection fails $db_object will contain

the error message. */

// If $db_object contains an error:

// error and exit.

if(DB::isError($db_object)) {
	die($db_object->getMessage());
}

$db_object->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);

// we write this later on, ignore for now.

//include('check_login.php');

?>

And this is the result when I try to run db_connect.php:

Warning: main(DB.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in 
/data/web/76076/www/test/db_connect.php on line 5

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.') in / 
data/web/76076/www/test/db_connect.php on line 5

The script uses the PEAR extensions for PHP-to-database connectivity.  Since 
hostcentric's Unix servers support PHP I was hoping they also had the PEAR 
files installed.  I called their tech support guy and he didn't know.  He did 
direct me to a page called 411.php under my site's domain, which shows a 
"configure" box that includes an option called "--with-pear".  This seems to 
indicate that they have PEAR, but where?  From the error messages above I 
seem to have a bogus include path.

Any suggestions from the PHP gurus out there?  Do I need to upload all the 
PEAR support files, such as DB.php?  Or is there a normal place where these 
are located?  If so, how do I update the include path?

Thanks!
