Description: ------------ In file PEAR/System.php function _parseArgs($argv, $short_options, $long_options = null) { if (!is_array($argv) && $argv !== null) { $argv = preg_split('/\s+/', $argv, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); } return Console_Getopt::getopt2($argv, $short_options); } If $argv contains something like "-t X:\path\to\PHP 5.3\tmp -d pear" , then it will split on space in "PHP 5.3". Test script: --------------- $args = "-t R:\applications\PHP 5.3\tmp -d pear"; $opts = System::_parseArgs($args, 't:d'); var_dump( $opts ); Expected result: ---------------- i have no idea Actual result: -------------- array(2) { [0]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "t" [1]=> string(19) "R:\applications\PHP" } } [1]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(7) "5.3\tmp" [1]=> string(2) "-d" [2]=> string(4) "pear" } }

Setting 'pear config-set temp_dir "C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp" ' helps, but you have to set it manually.

Workaround: 1. Use DIR /X to find out the 8+3 name of the folder. 2. Set it with config-set, e.g.: pear config-set temp_dir "C:\ARCHIV~1\PHP\tmp"

This bug has been fixed in SVN. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
