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!
