justsomeguy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 When Pear is installed the PHP include path should be updated to include the path to Pear. That means that if you do something like this:include 'Mail.php';first it will look in the current directory for a file with that name. If it can't find one, then it will go through the various include paths and check in each path for that file. You can use this to check the current include paths:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-include-path.phpYou can also set the include path to add the path to Pear if it's not already set, before including the files. Pear itself uses relative includes for all of its files, so the include path needs to have the path to the base Pear folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 That will work if you're just trying to include "Mail.php", but if that file relies on other include files then those include statements aren't going to work, because the path is set to Pear's mail folder instead of the base folder. Try adding /usr/share/psa-horde/pear to the include path, and then include "Mail/Mail.php". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Is this your own server which you admin? If it is, I would say to disable the open_basedir restriction. If you're not hosting other people's websites then it doesn't matter which files any account is allowed to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It shouldn't be a problem to add the pear directories to the basedir path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, you can read up on the open basedir restriction to see what it's trying to stop, and then decide if adding pear is going to compromise security, or you can also ask your host and see what they have to say.
