[junkmail]

on a win 2k server
apparantly it is saying i dont have it. or it cant find it.
im using mySQL 4.1
php 4.3.x
apache 3.0.53

im new to php and am doing some tutorials, but when i run the sripts it
tells mea it can not run pear/soap, because it can not be found.the book im
learning form does not tell me how to install or configure this extension.
so now im looking for help.
is it possible? if so how do i config it with php 4.3.x and apache 2.0.53 ?
followed a tutorial and ran my script only to find out that i dont have 1)
it installed 2) not configured.

What's it like in the future - can you send us the winning lottery numbers and
the Changelog for Apache 3?

PHP for Windows comes with a batch file "go-pear.bat" - run this first. Then
you can use the "pear" command to install more PEAR modules. The PEAR page for
the SOAP module shows it's not been released, it's still beta, so you have to
persuade the pear command to install it.

D:\php-5.0.3-Win32>pear install SOAP
No release with state equal to: 'stable' found for 'SOAP'

D:\php-5.0.3-Win32>pear install http://pear.php.net/get/SOAP-0.8.1.tgz

D:\php-5.0.3-Win32>pear --help install
pear install [options] <package> ...
Installs one or more PEAR packages. You can specify a package to
install in four ways:

"Package-1.0.tgz" : installs from a local file

"http://example.com/Package-1.0.tgz" : installs from
anywhere on the net.

"package.xml" : installs the package described in
package.xml. Useful for testing, or for wrapping a PEAR package in
another package manager such as RPM.

"Package" : queries your configured server
(pear.php.net) and downloads the newest package with
the preferred quality/state (stable).

More than one package may be specified at once. It is ok to mix these
four ways of specifying packages.

Options:
-f, --force
will overwrite newer installed packages
-n, --nodeps
ignore dependencies, install anyway
-r, --register-only
do not install files, only register the package as installed
-s, --soft
soft install, fail silently, or upgrade if already installed
-B, --nobuild
don't build C extensions
-Z, --nocompress
request uncompressed files when downloading
-R DIR, --installroot=DIR
root directory used when installing files (ala PHP's INSTALL_ROOT)
--ignore-errors
force install even if there were errors
-a, --alldeps
install all required and optional dependencies
-o, --onlyreqdeps
install all required dependencies

At which point you're stuck and probably have to complain to the PEAR SOAP
maintainers, since there is no stable version of whatever Net_DIME is.

You could do:

D:\php-5.0.3-Win32>pear install -n http://pear.php.net/get/SOAP-0.8.1.tgz
downloading SOAP-0.8.1.tgz ...
Starting to download SOAP-0.8.1.tgz (69,177 bytes)
..................done: 69,177 bytes
install ok: SOAP 0.8.1

... but who knows if it'll work.

man, i never knew i was in the future.. looking back, i see the version
2.0.53 i tried downgrading to that.. lol... :P

now with this... why would someone provide explicit details for a php
application for windows, if pear is not even reliable on that platform. ??
well, no problem, i guess i will turn back to standard php...
:)

but thanks for your help. i will try this, and see if it works, if not, then
i will just wait on learning this.

I have it installed on a couple systems, don't remember the exact steps. I
think I ended up just downloading it, then installing local files, and I
know I didn't let it handle auto-dependencies. Try taking the dependency
list, and you can do a pear install on the stable stuff, but download the
betas and install them by themselves from a local file.
