Posted:  11 Mar 2007 02:21
I have installed pear ok on my windows localhost using the WAMP installer.  Now I want to use some of the packages that are posted www.pear.net.  However, all the files are downloaded in .tar format.  I have tried to unzip these using Winzip but keep getting errors, any ideas???
I am assuming that the pear downloads are zipped up files containing .php files that I can reference as classes.

To use PEAR packages, just run

Quote:
pear install <packagename>


at the command line. PEAR will download the file and install it for you. PEAR files are installed to various directories on your system, and the structure does not match the archive. In other words: you can't easily install PEAR classes manually.
