WampServer

Hi - I ran go-pear.bat from windows explorer, command line routine launched fine, but when I press enter to accept file and dir layout I get many instances of:
"Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in phar://go-pear.phar/Archive/Tar.php on line (xxx)" also a couple of "could not get contents of package "". invalid tgz file." also a couple of could not initialize "phar://...(etc.) invalid or missing package" messages. Is there a fix for this. Otherwise, WAMP 5 v. 1.1.6 has been berry berry good to me. thx

Hi there!

Mine was the same. I eventually got somewhere by following the instructions on pears own site (the installation guide starts at [pear.php.net]). Using this got me as far as having pear installed and being able to download new packages for use.

Couldn't actually get the damn thing working tho but that was probably an error on my part with the include directories!!

Hope this helps!

Please say me how setup and configure pear in wamp

developers phpteam help me:

(system|local) [system] :

Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation. To

I ran into the same problem here is how I fixed it:

goto [go-pear.org] and copy the file as described below. The readfile didn't work for me so I just manually saved the page to a "go-pear" on my HD. Then I executed the "php go-pear" command (make sure you have php in your path or are in c:\wamp\php).

Follow the directions as go-pear executes and should be fine. However, note that for some reason wamp has 2 php.ini files, one in wamp\Apache2\bin and one in wamp\php. I don't know the *right* way to resolve this but I just made sure that the files were the same for me. The only thing the Pear installer appears to have put in my php.ini file is the include statement which is at the bottom of the file.

Everything works fine now...

# Installation: Windows
#
# On Windows, go-pear uses stdin for user input, so you must download
# go-pear first and then run it:
#
# Note: In PHP 4.2.0-4.2.3, the PHP CLI binary is named php-cli.exe while since
# PHP 4.3.0, it's simply named php.exe in the cli/ folder of your PHP directory.
# The CGI is also named php.exe but it sits directly in your PHP directory.
#
# > cli/php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
# > cli/php go-pear
#
# In PHP 5.0.0+, the PHP CLI binary is php.exe
#
# > php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
# > php go-pear
