help on xml

[shotokan99]

i have this page:

<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";
echo 'it works';
?>

now if pear is successfully installed the text "it works" should
display, right? what im getting now is blank white page..which i
presume it's not working, and there's an error. however i am sure that
there's nothing wrong with my syntax. am i correct with my assumptions?

Enable display_errors and error_reporting in php.ini. Then see what
it says when you load the page. Also, does the file HTTP/Request.php
exist? Can it be found? Where is PHP looking for it? The error
message should tell you such things.

And look at the page source. See what you're really getting at the browser.

Re: help on xml

actually another issue to this is our hosting company wont allow us to
edit anything on php.ini...seems they got it so secured that functions
such as this wont work at all.

plus the admin just admitted to me http/request.php doesnt exist
because they are not supporting it. actually i wanted to use pear for
the only reason that i wanted to send xml file.

is there any workaround for this?

Well, you don't need PEAR to create an XML file. It's just text, after
all. PEAR does make it somewhat easier, though.

So looks like you need to make a choice - create the XML manually with
echo statements, or find another host.

Your host doesn't allow you to use require_once? Abandon ship at once
and find a better host. Without the ability to include files, your
options for well structured code are very limited.

If you can include files, and your host doesn't have a certain PEAR
module installed, then there's no reason you can't load it in there on
your own. Just get the code from the PEAR site, FTP it somewhere in
your directory structure, and use it from there. I've had to do this
with a few modules before.
