This issue has been fixed in Archive_Tar 1.4.3 which is now bundled in the latest version of the installer.

No error is displayed on the console and pear is not installed. I tracked this down to the setAttribute() method in Archive/Tar.php, which uses the reference operator (&) on an internal function (func_get_args). Test script: --------------- $ php-7.2.0alpha3/sapi/cli/php ../install-pear-nozlib.phar Expected result: ---------------- PEAR installer gets installed, printing a bunch of message on stdout ot indicate progress and exiting with 0 Actual result: -------------- Nothing on stdout/stderr, pear installer is not installed and the commands exits with code 255 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74884&edit=1
