Hello i wish to be able to deploy a PHP web application along with a local installation of PEAR.

To be more specific, i am trying to find a way to do a ‘per-application’ or local installation of PEAR if this is possible.

For example:

The application ‘MyApplication’ is located in: /var/www/applications/myapplication

The php library is located in: /var/www/applications/myapplication/library

I am looking for a way to do a per-application installation of PEAR since not all applications are managed by me (and i want to control which PEAR packages are installed and when).

I found some tutorials for a local PEAR installation (on a shared host) but i don’t know if my scenario fits the one for a local PEAR installation.

Any thoughts/help appreciated.

    We use this approach for our deployments.

    For each deployed app, we create externals/pear directory via:

    pear config-create /path/to/app/externals /path/to/app/conf/.pearrc

    Then we reset the include path for PHP to only have the /path/to/app/externals/pear/php directory.

    We have been using this approach for a couple of years with great success.
