RE: [PEAR] Windows install: ?

I was going to attach the go-pear.php script from php4.3.2RC1, Windows binary distro, as of this last weekend but the latest version of Outlook doesn't allow file attachments(we are real secure now). The functions you speak of are not there. I'll go look at the tarball from PHP.net and see if the go-pear.bat is different; Nope, in fact there is no go-pear.bat in the tarball. The tarball has the standard \scripts directory with the perl script and a pearwin.php script. The pearwin.php script does not have the 'displayHTML' function in it. What I had to do: Download the tarball from PHP4.3.2RC1 and unpack the pear directory into your PHP directory as in C:\PHP4\pear --- edit the pear.in file and remove the everything from the top until the <?php tag edit the pear.bat @ECHO OFF REM ------------------- set PHP_PATH=c:\php4\cli set PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=c:\php4\pear set PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR=c:\php4\extensions set PEAR_DOC_DIR=c:\php4\pear\docs REM ------------------- set DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR=\ %PHP_PATH%\php.exe -q %PEAR_INSTALL_DIR%\scripts\pear.in %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 @ECHO ON Add C:\PHP4 to the PATH so C:\PHP4\CLI\PHP.EXE can find the PHP dll's NOTE: The instructions for installing PHP tells users to place the .dll's into the windows directory as in C:\WINNT\ for NT or C:\WINDOWS for most other versions of Windows, any application that needs access to a DLL will look in the 'PATH' for the DLL. Do you really want to search for a DLL? Place all the PHP DLL's into the Apache directory where the apache.exe lives along with php.ini, when apache.exe load the cgi or sapi PHP module it will look in the apache directory first THEN start searching. This is why you need the PHP directory in the path, the command line php.exe needs to know where the dll's are. a simple way for PHP to do this would have been to place the php.exe command line process into the same directory as the dll's by naming it cliphp.exe ? Another nice feature about doing this is upgrades, it only takes a few seconds with all the files located in the apache directory. And please note: Including the path to pear.bat does not allow you to execute a .bat file, only binary files. Then run the go-pear.bat from the command line as in: C:\PHP4\go-pear Now when I enter pear list I see the list of installed modules It would be nice to have the required packages for Horde in a file that could be redirected into this process..... -----Original Message----- From: Ian P.

Have you looked at the source file for go-pear? You might wanna have a look, looking specifically how the variable 'WebInstaller' is used, and perhaps the function defined 'function displayHTML($page = 'Welcome', $data = array())'. It works for me, unless I have a different go-pear.php then other poeple? I assure you I was not trying to berate anyone, and as far as I was concerend, this is a far better method of installing PEAR then though the CLI. -- Ian P.
