Do you have PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository) installed on your shared servers?
Yes we do have. The PEAR library are installed in all of our shared web hosting and reseller web hosting servers.
What is the PEAR library?
PEAR (PHP Extension associated Application Repository) is an object-oriented PHP library with separate categories for a range of functions together with mail, database interactivity, date and time, encryption, images, HTTP, HTML and many more. As an example, the HTML_Form class is used to help within the automatic creation of HTML forms. Even a lot of useful classes include the File class, used for reading from and writing to files on the file system from that the PHP application is being executed from. An even more interesting class within the library is the File_SearchReplace class, that automates find and replace operations for files wherever you will need to find certain strings and replace them in a very specific file.
The PEAR library is incredibly robust and helpful. You don’t need to use the PEAR library so as to connect to and interact with databases, as there are inbuilt functions and extensions within the PHP language itself, together with the object-oriented PHP Data Objects Extension (which is also very simple to use).
