still having problems with query()

[tomjoadxx]

This is probably a very simple fix for all you portage guru's out there:

I emerged php with basic set of options, which works pretty well for what I need it for. Unfortunately I can't seem to get query() to work, and from what I know that is part of PEAR-DB. I tried emergeing that as well as PEAR-PEAR, and my query still doesn't work. I looked into my phpinfo() and foudn that one of the configure options was --without-pear. I have tried to look through forums and on gentoo.org as well as pear.php.net for a solution to this, but I am not finding it. I checked out all the USE flags for php, and I don't know which ones I should use to enable PEAR. I am a bit wary of manually configuring and installing PHP, as it is working right now (which never seems to happen for me) Truthfully, I am not sure that this is even the problem, but I know someone out there does :]
