PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR is not set correctly - wamp 64bit with php5.3.13

Question

I am using wamp 64bit with php5.5.12.

I followed all 10 steps from:

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/29976/install-pear-on-windows-7-64x-using-wamp/

There's actually no problem with the installation nor the path but when I tried to check if pear was working by typing pear , instead of displaying list of commands it displayed this:

PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR is not set correctly. Please fix it using your environment variable or modify the defaul value in pear.bat The current value is: C:\\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.3.13\\pear

I have no idea where the php5.3.13 come from since I am using php5.5.12 .

I even checked the code of the pear.bat and the PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR is actually correct.

What seems to be the problem?

Answer 1

You have to change your environment variables.

Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Environment and modify the PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR variable.
