Hi!  I need help!  I successfully installed WAMP but it says that PEAR is not installed.  Did I do something wrong?  I have to have PEAR for the application that I am trying to install.  Can ANYONE please help!?!?!

Don't panic. The PEAR installation is not done automatically, since it requires an internet connection.

You'll be up an running in two minutes by clicking
Start->Progams->e-novative->WAMP->Install PEAR.

Just press Enter on every question. Then open or reload the Command Center: PEAR is installed ;-)

Enjoy!

You are welcome. PEAR is sure a good thing. It used to be a pain to get PEAR going on Windows, but >e-novative> WAMP makes it really a snap.

In this case, you can only do a manual install, which is pretty hard to do. PEAR downloads itself and the required components from the internet on install, and since the PEAR installer itself is beyond our control, we cannot be of much help here. Sorry. Maybe you can ask the PEAR list for help.

You might want to try and copy the contents of Program Files\e-novative\wamp\php\pear from a system that has PEAR installed, but this might not work at all. At your own risk.

I have a problem. I've installed WAMP SERVER and ran the PEAR install shortcut. The Wamp Control Center says that PEAR is installed. However, whenever I  run a php document that contains the line "require_once('DB.php')" I get a list of errors:

Strict Standards: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\...\php\PEAR\DB.php on line 470.

(and other similar errors)

Modify your php.ini and change:

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

...to something less, um... strict.  Perhaps:

error_reporting = E_ALL

...restart Apache and you should be good.

Hello,
I read discussion about pear problem and I have similar problem with "require_once('DB.php')", I installed pear successfully and added DB package as well. But when I quest require_once('DB.php') it brings me errors:

Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\DB.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\study_php\simple.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\DB.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\study_php\simple.php on line 3

I tried to modify include path in php.ini, but it doesn't work. Can you help me with this? Thanks a lot!

Are you sure you modified the right php.ini (in the Windows dir) and restarted the web server after that?
