Oracle Tips by Burleson |
Installing PEAR on Windows
As is the case with Linux, PEAR is delivered with
PHP. A subdirectory named PEAR and a script called go-pear.bat is
found in the D:\PHP directory. Execute this script from a DOS window,
and note the following results:
D:\PHP>go-pear
Welcome to go-pear!
Go-pear will install the 'pear' command and all
the files needed by it. This command is your tool for PEAR
installation and maintenance.
Go-pear also lets you download and install the
PEAR packages bundled with PHP: DB, Net_Socket, Net_SMTP, Mail,
XML_Parser, PHPUnit.
If you wish to abort, press Control-C now, or
press Enter to continue:
After several more “press enter”, a warning
appears that we did not take a look at the include directory path:
********************************************************************
WARNING! The include_path defined in the currently used php.ini does
not contain the PEAR PHP directory you just specified:
<D:\PHP\pear>
If the specified directory is also not in the include_path used by
your scripts, you will have problems getting any PEAR packages
working.
Current
include path : .;C:\php5\pear
Configured directory :
D:\PHP\pear
Currently used php.ini (guess) :
Press Enter to continue:
When the enter
button is pressed, another warning comes up:
** The 'pear'
command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to
** use 'D:\PHP\pear.bat' until you have added
** 'D:\PHP' to your PATH environment variable.
Run it
without parameters to see the available actions, try 'pear list' to
see what packages are installed, or 'pear help' for help.

information about PEAR, see:

Thanks for
using go-pear!
* WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES *
For convenience, a REG file is available under
D:\PHP\PEAR_ENV.reg.
This file creates ENV variables for the current user.
Double-click
this file to add it to the current user registry.
Press any key
to continue . . .
Pressing enter finishes the installation script. However, there
are several more tasks to do:
-
Edit PHP.ini and put
D:\PHP
and D:\PHP\PEAR in the include path.
-
Load D:\PHP\PEAR_ENV.reg into the registry.
-
Put
D:\PHP
into the PATH.
The first step is the easiest one to perform and
is completely analogous to Linux. By using a favorite text editor, the
following line is put into PHP.ini:
include_path
= ".;D:\PHP;D:\PHP\PEAR”
This, of course means that the Apache2 web server
will once again need to be restarted. Next, start windows explorer,
locate the file D:\PHP\PEAR_ENV.reg and double-click it. This will
load it into the registry. For changing the path, invoke regedit and
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Environment. Once there, add
C:\PHP
to the PATH variable, like shown in the following picture:
If the variable PATH does not exist, it can be
created. Now, restart Apache2 and the system, so that the installed
registry variables take effect. Next time the user logs in, they can
start the DOS window, type “pear” and view the well known menu,
exactly the same as for Linux. Using the PEAR installer on Windows is
completely identical to using it on Linux. Here is the output from the
post-installation steps:
