Question

C:\PHP>pear upgrade pear
pear/pear is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.9.3
upgrade failed

C:\PHP>pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.0
PHP Version: 5.2.17
Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0

As you can see pear is confused to what version it is running. How can I go about fixing this so that PEAR is running on 1.9.3?

Update

Answer 1

I uninstalled php and re-installed it again. All the problems then went away.
