Hi have been trying to set up this log-on system.

http://www.free2code.net/plugins/art...read.php?id=99

installed pear seems ok lots of folders and files including the DB.php file mentioned in the db_connect.php

PHP Code:

<?php

//require the PEAR::DB classes.

require_once '../pear/PEAR/DB.php' ;
?>

was not sure about the notation of the require_once should it have brackets require_once ('../pear/PEAR/DB.php') ;

THE MAIN PROBLEM is that

I get the error message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: assertextension() in /usr/lib/php/DB/mysql.php on line 114

can anyone tell me where I am going wrong if you need more info just ask as I got stumped at this point after If this is not clear please ask.

if you know of an easier log-on system that has details stored encrypted on the database and uses encrypted sessions then please tell me as well.

Make sure you have the most updated version of DB.php.

It sounds like a bug:

http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3684

checked the code and neither

the bug
if (!DB::assertExtension('odbtp')) {
or the replacment
if (!PEAR::loadExtension('odbtp')) {

is in my DB.php file

i have * @version CVS: $Id: DB.php,v 1.80 2005/02/16 02:16:00 danielc Exp $

if that is any help

thought pear was suposed to make life easier!!

Hmm... 1.8? The current stable release is 1.7.6, maybe you obtained the 1.8 beta by mistake?

You might try pear upgrade or just remove and reinstall it via shell for the heck of it:

pear uninstall DB
pear install DB

don't have shell access shall I just use ftp? or is that command line module the shell you where thinking off if so how do I use it?
