<<END ERROR LOG>>
I'm running on windows xp sp2.
What could be the problem ?

EDIT :
i found the problem resolved on the forum
I executed this in c:\wamp\php and it worked:
1) php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
2) php go-pear

Thanks for the help! Saved me pulling my hair out looking for how to get around this pear installation problem for Windows! (I am a *nix man ...)

Excellent! Kudos for the tip.

I have done this and received 'completed successfully' confirmation. All is well. However, I subsequently receie a file does not exist for db.php, which it thinks is in c:\php5... when it is obviously in c:\wamp\php\....

The includes has been successfully written to php.ini and point to c:\wamp\php... and I'm therefore at a loss as to why it is looking a a php5 directory. Any ideas?

Pear has a statement to move from "dp.php" to "MDB2.php" as it is no longer supported.
In order to use the Database Scripts you must change the "include_path" in your "php.ini" file to include_path = ".;x:\wamp\www\phplib\"
or
you can either include the path within your script.

i.e.
$PATH = 'X:/wamp/php/PEAR';
init_set('include_path', ';'. $PATH . ';' . ini_get('include_path'));
// on require once you can set it to 'DB.php' if you have that installed in your system
require_once 'MDB2.php';


have fun.

I may not have conveyed my problem very clearly (I am good at that!)

This is the error I get:

Warning: require_once(DB.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in O:\WEBSITESandGRAPHICS\phpstudy\test.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in O:\WEBSITESandGRAPHICS\phpstudy\test.php on line 4

for reference, line 4 is: require_once('DB.php');

php.ini can be found @ [redwax.co.uk]

Thank you for your help

I have done what you said...
