Php – “PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed” after upgrade php to 5.4.38 on centos6.6

PHP

if I havn't install php before, everything is OK.

When I upgrade php from 5.4.36 to 5.4.38, it says PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed: generated phar will require PHP's phar extension be enabled. and then there is no pecl in bin dir.

I have to manually install by wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar && php go-pear.phar, but go-pear.phar does not support cli param so I have to manually press enter to continue the pear installation.

I hope pear can be installed automatically, what should I do?

The warning about PHP_Archive can safely be ignored. If you want to get rid of it, you can install the PHP_Archive PEAR package (pear install pear/PHP_Archive should do the trick). The message should then disappear provided the path to PEAR's code directory is in your include_path (which is the case for a default installation).

The missing pecl command is what's really strange. Not really sure what's going on there. As a workaround and to answer your last question, there is another installer for PEAR which accepts command line options. You can grab it from https://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar. This installer can then be used to install PEAR silently.
