C:\opt\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13
).now open a command prompt as an administrator (right click on cmd.exe and choose "run as administrator") and type the following commands
php go-pear.phar
choose system for a system wide installation. When the program prompts you with a list, just press enter to accept the defaults.
After the download has finished a file called PEAR_ENV.reg
will be created. This file contains environment variables for PEAR. Just
double click it and install the registry file. Now open the file
C:\opt\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini and add the followinginclude_path = ".;C:\opt\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13"
Don't forget to replace the path with your own installation directory. Add the same line to the file C:\opt\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
and restart apache. Now you can use the file pear.bat
in C:\opt\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13
to install any packages. E.gpear.bat install net_smtp
