Hi, I am trying to set up the PHP PEAR package HTML_QuickForm2 on my shared hosting server. The server has got PEAR installed but I now need to add on the HTML_QuickForm2 package. Does anybody know how to do this? I spoke to the tech support guys who are not willing to provide any assistance on how to do this, but they said I could link the package to PEAR. The HTML_QuickForm2 comes in the form of some .GZ file...
You should install your own copy of PEAR instead of using the one your host provided. This way, you have full control of what packages and upgrades you want and you don't have to deal with their tech support. Its also pretty easy to install. Take a look at the installation instructions (the FTP section) http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.shared.php
