Re: Need help getting started

I have a go-pear script that installed with PHP5. My problem is that go-pear gives the error listed below. Is there some sort of configuration I need to make it work? Jean-Lou Dupont wrote:

Of course, you have to install PEAR first... get the install script at http://pear.php.net/go-pear and just do 'php go-pear.php' On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 8:07 AM, Mark Murphy <mmurph@cinci.rr.com <mailto:mmurph@cinci.rr.com>> wrote:

    I am completely new to PHP and PEAR, so please excuse me if I ask
    a stupid question or two.  I am trying to learn PHP, and would
    like to do that inside a framework.  Anyway, I have Apache 2.0.63
    installed with PHP 5.2.6, and both appear to be running
    successfully with default configurations.  I can make basic
    examples from tutorials work properly.

    Here is my problem.  I want to install the Symfony framework, and
    the installation instructions are this:

    $ pear install symfony/symfony

    I am running on windows and don't know how to translate this.

    I tried:
      c:\PHP5>pear install symfony/symfony

    I got: 'pear' is not recognized as an internal or external
    command, operable program or batch file

    Turns out Pear was not installed with PHP5, so I added Pear to the
    PHP installation using the PHP5 installer.  Now I have a go-pear
    batch file in my PHP5 directory, but it gives me an error as well.

    Here is the error I am stuck on: (go-pear)
