Are you talking about users on one same host, this host has PEAR installed using the system packages installer? If yes, then take a look here: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.pearinhomedir.php It is not a single PHAR containing the installer, but it works very well. I'm not sure it is really possible to have this PHAR and keep the upgrade processes as easy as it is now. It would require some extra checks within PEAR (or hacked when the phar is packaged). If not, please explain again what you want :) -- Pierre Did I help you? Please donate http://blog.thepimp.net/index.php/1998/04/12/57-please-donate
