[FIXED] How to get the dropbox-php library with pear HTTP_OAUTH to work?

Issue

I've been struggelig to get the dropbox-php library to work, but the page where I try to use the classes outputs an error:

Warning: include(HTTP/OAuth/Consumer.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/OAuth/PEAR.php on line 47   

Warning: include(HTTP/OAuth/Consumer.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such  file or directory in /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/OAuth/PEAR.php on line 47

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'HTTP/OAuth/Consumer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/OAuth/PEAR.php on line 47

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Dropbox_Exception' with message 'The HTTP_OAuth_Consumer class could not be found! Did you install the pear HTTP_OAUTH class?' in /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/OAuth/PEAR.php:51 Stack trace: #0 /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/getmetadata.php(11): Dropbox_OAuth_PEAR->__construct('', '') #1 {main} thrown in /home/sensured/public_html/sensured.net/Dropbox/OAuth/PEAR.php on line 51  

The pear HTTP_OAUTH class is installed (v 0.2.3), but its done though cpanel so I'm unsure where and don't even know if that has anything to say.

Solution

You need to make sure that PEAR's PHP directory is in your include_path.

Find the path with

$ pear config-get php_dir

then add it to your php.ini's include_path directive. Restart your web server software afterwards to activate the new settings .
