Re: how to install pear package in Windows

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct way to do it but it works for me (so far). In a DOS session I simply execute the following command: pear install <PEAR-package> e.g. pear install Cache This will install the stable release of Cache in the directory c:\php4 The only thing is, I have to copy it to my installation directory of PHP. Unfortunately I've noticed that not all packages install well. Some dependencies don't work properly. So, like I said, I don't know if this is the right procedure, but maybe it can help you a little bit.
