Thank you for this post it was very useful, I will just fix this:

To install a package I have to use this command:

sudo su [Enter root password]
cd /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/php/pear
sudo php pearcmd.php install pear/<>

thanks!!

Hey, seems like i can’t install the packages i.e

sh-3.2# pear install pear/HTML
No releases available for package “pear.php.net/HTML”
Cannot initialize ‘channel://pear.php.net/HTML’, invalid or missing package file
Package “channel://pear.php.net/HTML” is not valid
install failed

Any ideas on would to do would be greatly appreciated, as i can’t yet use php and pear function calls together.

Thanks very much – I’ve been scratching my head over this for absolutely ages! I wish the XAMPP/Pear forums were this helpful! Thanks!
