The *PHP PEAR* Packages interface allows you to search for and add PEAR packages to your website, or view all of your website’s available PHP packages. # Module Include Path The *Module Include Path* section of the interface displays the location where the system will store your modules. If you wish to reference those modules from other modules or programs, use this include path. # Using Your PHP Extension and Application The *Using Your PHP Extensions Module(s)* section of the interface lists a choice of code that you **must** include in the top of your PHP module or application. This code represents the location of PHP that the system will use to run the module or application. # Install PEAR package To install a PEAR package, perform one of the following actions: * If you know the name of the desired module, enter it in the *Install a PHP Extensions and Applications Package* text box and click *Install Now*. * Enter a search term in the *Search* text box and click *Go*, and click *Install* next to the package that you wish to install. * Click *Show Available Modules* to display a list of available PEAR packages, and click *Install* next to the package that you wish to install.
