Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/pear') in /usr/local/lib/php/pear/common.php on line 22

Question

I'm using macOS BigSur and trying use local web server apache2. All thing's ok since I get this fatal error:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/pear') in /usr/local/lib/php/pear/common.php on line 22

Try to fix it:

% php --ini                   
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed:      (none)

In php.ini file I have this include line:

display_errors = on
error_reporting = -1
include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php/pear"

AND:

% pear config-get php_dir     
/usr/local/lib/php
% pear
Commands:

Pear version show:

 % pear version

In phpInfo file I have in include_path stuff:

include_path    .:/usr/local/lib/php/pear   .:/usr/local/lib/php/pear

What is the problem? I need you help.

Answer 1

After editing /etc/php.ini file like that:

include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php/pear"

There is now error concerning the first one. Another error occurred:

Fatal error: Cannot declare class PEAR_Common, because the name is already in use in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Common.php on line 835

One solution?
