The error message says it all.  Line 29 is creating a new class that 
extends a class named PEAR.  Unfortunately, the class named pear could not 
be found.  It's kind of hard to extend something that can't be found, so 
PHP says so and stops.

Now, the question is WHY the PEAR class can't be found.  I'd guess your 
include path doesn't match your installation.  Or, perhaps, you botched 
your installation all together.
