Issue: Installing PEAR into PHP 8.x for Windows

I have never had a problem installing PEAR on PHP 7.x on Windows, but I am unable to get PEAR installed using PHP 8.x.

Can someone direct me on how to get this done, and I'm on a local IIS and/or Apache webserver.

The typical way of installing PEAR is to install PHP 8.2.3, add go-pear.phar to the root of PHP and then run go-pear.phar from the root of PHP.

Grabbing the latest version of go-pear.phar from http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar for a more stable and current version

I drop it into the root of my PHP install folder and execute it.

d:\winids\php>php go-pear.phar

Some Googling suggests that there's a weird and long-standing issue with the .phar such that you can't download it from a browser but need to use a tool like curl.

PHP itself might work too.

> php -r "copy('http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar', 'go-pear.phar');"
