PHP PEAR Packages

Install and remove PEAR packages for your PHP code, in the pear folder of your home folder.

Reference Checked against panel v2.3.2 Updated 11 Oct 2026 · 2 min read Open in your panel

PHP PEAR Packages installs packages from PEAR, the PHP Extension and Application Repository, for your own PHP code. They go into pear in your home folder and are installed as your hosting account, so they are yours alone and do not change anything else on the server.

Install a package

  1. In the panel, open Software → PHP PEAR Packages.
  2. Under Install a Package, enter the Package name, such as Mail_Mime. Use the package's name only, not a file, a web address or a version.
  3. Click Install.

Installing runs in the background: a strip at the top of the page says In progress… and you can keep working. Packages it requires are installed with it. When it finishes, the package appears under Installed packages. If it fails, the strip says why and offers Try again.

Use a package in your code

As the page says, add ~/pear/pear/php to PHP's include_path to use your packages. ~ stands for your home folder.

Remove a package

  1. Find the package under Installed packages.
  2. Click Remove and confirm.

The server could not read the data it was given. The package could not be installed, for example because there is no package of that name. Check the name and try again.
Mail_Mime is not installed. The package was already removed, for example in another tab. Reload the page.
That item does not exist. The server could not remove the package. Reload the page. If it is still listed, send the message to support as written.
Installing Mail_Mime is already in progress. Please wait for it to finish. That package is already being installed. Wait for it to finish.
PEAR is not installed on your server, so there is nothing to add packages to. Support can install it. Your hosting server has no PEAR. Contact support.
This tool needs the Zeyo agent 1.2.0 or later on your hosting server, which it does not have yet. Please contact support to have it updated. Your hosting server is not ready for this tool yet. Contact support.
