As noted by Andrey, I actually needed to use to="php_bin" in order to get the path to the PHP executable, but the link you provided helped me understand why. Is there a way to do this with PEAR_PackageFileManager? Or will I need to hand-hack the package.xml file to do so? > > (2) Speaking of examples...
