Forever a noob, I'm trying to get XML_Feed_Parser working on xampp and i'm getting these error messages

Warning: require_once(XML/Feed/Parser.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Documents and Settings\mxxxx\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'XML/Feed/Parser.php' (include_path='.;C:\Documents and Settings\mxxxx\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\Documents and Settings\mxxxx\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 2

Im using pear, dont really understand it but it says XML_Feed_Parser is installed and OK. I restarted apache after the adding the library.

Does the include_path syntax look right? I cant find any evidence of  this parser class except PEAR telling me everything is jake.

PS the forum logo is badass

php is expecting to find it here;

C:\Documents and Settings\mxxxx\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\php\pear\XML\Feed\Parser.php

if that file is not there then you need to work out why, get it there, or adjust your PATH accordingly.

Cheers,

you were right i misunderstood that XML\Feed|Parser in the error message as some kind of character escapement I didn't understand - and whenever I see a path or escape character I don't understand I must confess my first thought is "Windows?" 

its working, thanks for your help!

Yes, Windows is a different world for those of us who have a *nix history. There are things to be learned/taken from Windows too though. Remember "the warrior makes use of what is at hand" and "if you ain't where you are, you're no place"
