latest PEAR on W32, refers to PHP5, bug

latest PEAR on W32, refers to PHP5 inaccurately.
I've seen posts regarding path's that get messed up, by lost ini's or
registry settings.
I don't think that's my case, because I can't find PHP5 in registry or
any left-over ini's.
This is a new PC that I use on the weekends mostly.

The latest Pear version 1.4.5-I believe, also seems to have changed
(written over) include_path and extension_dir settings of php.ini
changing them to .;C:\php5 and C:\php5\ext when there is no dir
or reference to php5 in ini's registry etc ( only C:\php )

I've run into some other related obstacles using Pear and Smarty on
shared-host env.
I'd like to be able to use Smarty, even in subdirectories and not have
to hardcode path.
While a recent version of Pear (1.4.0) claims to sync local and
shared-host Pear modules, the instructions ask you to install locally
in a very non-standard area. ??? why ???

I'm running PHP 5.0.5 on WinXP - anyone else have this experience ?
What's the best way to fix it ? TIA

If you're seeing these paths, it is more likely that it's not reading _any_
configuration data, and is instead falling back to these compiled-in defaults.

Check permissions, and the output of phpinfo() to see whether it's claiming to
see a configuration file.

Well, I'll be darn. It stated it was using
C:\Windows\php. ini
when there was none there !!!
Because I forgot to set the Apache2 directive: PHPIniDir
it assumes C:\Windows\
Situation solved, thank you for you help.

ps: I'm still curious about this issue, as I restate it here:

I've been using PHP for a while now - and have recently been trying to set up PHP, MySQL and Apache on Windows (for a client). It seems like all the PEAR stuff under PHP 5 doesn't work out of the box. It took me a while to track down the go-pear.bat file in the root - what with all the other garbage in there. Shouldn't this file get at least a mention in:

Newbie alert. Is the standard php library exclusively for PHP5 or is there one for PHP4? How do I start using it? Is there a require or include directive needed in order to make use of it? Same question for PEAR. Is there a PEAR for PHP4 or only for PHP5? How do I start using its facilities? Is there a require or include directive? Lastly, I'd like to start using templates. From what I've read, they

I've installed PEAR in my local area, on my shared host, under htdocs but I'm anticipating a number of issues. I'm forcing use of PHP5 with an .htaccess file, but by default the host runs PHP4 That could mean that pear is installed under the php4/ area, but not php5 ? go-pear prompted me to install a number of packages, including DB, which my webhost already has made available. If I do install DB using

I'm trying to use the Mail package from PEAR in a script that sends an e-mail over SMTP. The problem is that the Mail class in Mail.php provided by the package isn't found by the script.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
