Just so there is something useful for others to view, here is a quick tutorial on how to setup PEAR on WAMP.
If the file go-pear.phar is not on your system you can get it from here
Create a new folder c:\wamp\bin\php\php.x.y.z\PEAR ( I like a UPPER case name hers but it does not have to be that way )
Get go-pear.phar from [
pear.php.net]
And save it into the php.x.y.z folder
Then you have to make sure you have the php.exe file on the windows PATH
from the command line do this :
>path=%path%;c:\wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z
Alternatively, I have a batch file which I save into a fodler that is always on my windows path, lets call it php-command-line.bat and I add this to that file
path=%path%;c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.17;c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.28\bin
php -v
I can then start a command window anytime I like and just keyin >php-command-line and I have access to the php.exe in any folder I may wish to code up and run some php CLI source code.
>php go-pear.phar
D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.11>php PEAR\go-pear.phar
