you likely have to get and install PEAR separately. you can find their
installation instructions at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php
i used PEAR::DB when i first learned php. eventually i had a cron job
hitting the database that kept getting killed for running too long, so i
changed it to the native php functions instead of PEAR::DB and it
stopped getting killed. so at least back before there was a php 5, PEAR
was slower at accessing the database.
