Using PEAR packages

[tanveer]

Hi all:
I want to create an Excel File by using query from database. Currently, I am using CSV file but want to generate worksheets dynamically also. So,I found this PEAR package which has a class to create excel files and many more facilities for dealing with excel files.
Any of u ever installed it in Windows platform or have any idea how to install it on remote server?
Thanks.

Hi Tanveer,

Is windows the only choice for you? What do you mean by remote server? Which platform is remote server running on?

Cheers,
Kaiser.

Hi Tanveer,
open ur php.ini file and find from where files are included {default location }, i mean include_dir

like - ;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"


{step} - activate include_path by removing comment sign ;

{step} - In "include" folder, paste your PEAR package files {php and other files, not zip file}.

{step} - Restart your local web server {it might be -wamp, xamp, triad, IIS, tomcat etc}

if you are going to use your script in a hosting server, then informed that, most of linux hosting has PEAR service enbaled. And if not, then you have to follow some steps.


{step} - please include PEAR reference in your PHP file like - require "/public_html/PEAR/DB.php";

{step} - upload your PEAR files into your created folder PEAR

and end of all, it will work.


if u have any query, ask me or write down email at info@kernelbd.com

Thanks,
