YES if there is no answer in this Guide and if you are ready to share some informations such as : your configuration (platform Win *nix mac, PHP version, PEAR packages installed) and perharps your script.

1.3. I found a bug, what shall I do ?

1.4. What is PEAR ?

PEAR (an acronym for PHP Extension and Application Repository) is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components.

2. How to

2.1. I want to display my system configuration, but this one is not detected ?

If your system file (see command pear config-show) does not exists, or is locate in another directory, then you should give this information on PEAR_Info class constructor.

<?php
// @link http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=12878
// Search for pear.conf inside /etc/pear/
require_once 'PEAR/Info.php';
$pear_dir = '';
$user_file = '';
$syst_file = '/etc/pear/pear.conf';
$info = new PEAR_Info($pear_dir, $user_file, $syst_file);
$info->display();
?>

2.2. I want to change the look an feel (colors) of PEAR_Info output ?

First copy the default stylesheet named pearinfo.css (locate in {data_dir}/PEAR_Info : see command pear config-show) as a pattern. Then second, change colors and whatever you want until you keep all CSS selectors.

See for example the blue layout pattern skin locate in package installation under name {doc_dir}/PEAR_Info/examples/blueskin.css.

Last, as {doc_dir}/PEAR_Info/examples/pear_info2.php script, set the new stylesheet with PEAR_Info::setStyleSheet.

<?php
require_once 'PEAR/Info.php';
$info = new PEAR_Info();
$info->setStyleSheet(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'blueskin.css');
$info->display();
?>

2.3. I want to display packages from all my channels ?

By default PEAR_Info display only informations from pear.php.net channel.

To remove this limit, give as option to the class constructor an empty channels list, as below :

<?php
require_once 'PEAR/Info.php';
$pear_dir = '';
$user_file = '';
$syst_file = '/opt/lampp/etc/pear.conf';
$options = array('channels' => array() );
$info = new PEAR_Info($pear_dir, $user_file, $syst_file, $options);
$info->display();
?>

Note : If you want to filter package listing from a channel list, then give the full qualified list; something like :

<?php
$options = array('channels' => array('pear.php.net', 'pear.phpunit.de', '__uri') );

?>
