Heh, is that normal -- that if a version is deployed on (apparently) the majority of machines on the Internet, that the project not only drops support for that version, but drops support for *upgrading* from that version? I hope they might consider making the upgrade backward-compatible with 1.3.2 at some point. Well I offered RentACoder.com $25 for anyone who could write me a PHP function that returns 1 or 0 for a working/nonworking URL without using PEAR packages; in the meantime, starting with the instructions at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php should I uninstall PEAR before attempting to re-install it? i.e., what exactly should I do to uninstall PEAR, and then which of the pages linked from http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php should I start following the steps on to install the latest one?How likely is it that four randomly selected machines would all have a broken PEAR installation on them? Is there perhaps a deeper problem here?PEAR 1.3.2 is pretty old and the new channel.xml probably causes problems with this antique version.
