I don't know why you are getting that error, but it appears to be related to your XAMPP installation. My script doesn't use a config class. It seems maybe you tried to install PEAR on your server and it didn't install correctly?

PEAR is not required for the PHP Adoptables Script, only PHP and MySQL. This looks like a server configuration error though as the files and paths referenced don't belong to my script.

I'm not even sure why the PEAR folder is there. It might be an xampp thing. What would you suggest I try to get this issue resolved. I am building a web server to run this on so for the time being im on localhost. The only way I can think to get around xampp would be to either rebuild my site using a different interface like wampp or using a hosting service. Id like to try to get it working via localhost but I suppose I can do what is needed. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I would maybe try posting on the XAMPP forums or support area if they have one and see if they can shed some light on this. Otherwise, just from a quick Google search this may help.

It seems though it is a XAMPP error somewhere in the program's configuration. Hopefully the link given there will help, otherwise it may need to be installed on a properly configured web host's server.

Thanx for the help. I removed the pear dirctory from the includes path in the php.ini and the site is up and running now. Time to play :)

Glad it's working. :)
