Pear DB 新手入门指南教程

存放Pear的目录：

# cd /usr/local/lib

用“phpfi“口令登录:

# cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login

用以下命令得到所有的pear文件，同时也可以用来更新已经下载的文件。其他的参数有："today", "last month",等。我推荐用"last week"参数，因为一般bugs的提交和修改都是每周一次。 

# cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository export -D "last week" php4/pear

编辑php.ini文件加上下面一段在include_path处： /usr/local/lib/php4/pear 如果没有修改的权限，可以通过这条语句在代码中实现： ini_set(‘include_path‘, ‘path_to_pear‘);

<?php
 // The pear base directory must be in your include_path
 require_once ‘DB.php‘;
 $user = ‘foo‘;
 $pass = ‘bar‘;
 $host = ‘localhost‘;
 $db_name = ‘clients_db‘;

 // Data Source Name: This is the universal connection string
 $dsn = "mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$db_name";

 // DB::connect will return a Pear DB object on success
 // or a Pear DB Error object on error
 // You can also set to TRUE the second param
 // if you want a persistent connection:
 // $db = DB::connect($dsn, true);
 $db = DB::connect($dsn);

 // With DB::isError you can differentiate between an error or
 // a valid connection.
 if (DB::isError($db)) {
         die ($db->getMessage());
 }
 ....
 // You can disconnect from the database with:
 $db->disconnect();
 ?>
