Take your (linux?)laptop, and while connected to the 'Net do the folowing:

pear list-updates	// shows updates
pear upgrade-all	// upgrades all installed packages
pear install DB		// excellent DB class :)
pear install HTML_QuickForm	// interesting HTML/Javascript forms

Now on the airplane you have examples and documentation in
/usr/share/pear (or wherever your PEAR is installed).  Really.  I've
seen the new DB documentation online (and it is a huge improvement), but
the examples are also excellent.

That is how I learned PEAR, at least (and it was on planes AND trains) :)
