xampp on windows does not automatically install pear/xml
in fact no pear packages are installed on mine.
pear install xml - doesn't work - throws an error -
"no release available for pear.php.net/xml
cannot initialize xml, invalid or missing package file"
what am i doing wrong? i can see pear/xml folder is full of the files i want to use - so it is there. i'd like to not hack it with custom xampp config paths for includes and such.
any help appreciated.
