RE: [PEAR] pear on windows

I guess I should of asked this is the first post. Before I start installing the new version of php should I go through my system and manually delete all of my current php installation, including pear, and the dlls in my system directory, etc. ? Could it cause any conflicts if I leave files from the previous installation behind? tia, --ed --- LIMBOURG Arnaud <arnaud.limbourg@cegetel.fr> wrote: > > Hey all.
