Description:
------------
Receive a warning when attempting to install a pecl package if "php" already exists in the directory path.

pecl should not match the first "php" it sees to determine the php_suffix. packages should install regardless of where PHP is.

You have to run the pecl commando from the prefix path, not from the global path. Looks like you have some other php instance around.

It is a fresh configuration each time, no PHP installed by yum or RPM. One 
configuration is tested and removed prior to installing the next.

The results are the same from within /opt/php-5.4.11

It is unclear to me what I am missing if a fresh configuration of php to 
/opt/billybob doesn't have any issues?

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

[2013-02-18 09:32 UTC] spero dot shiropetto at gmail dot com

How can you say "No feedback was provided." when the last comment was from myself 
asking for clarification a day after?

I am also unable to re-open the bug as I get the error message "You aren't allowed 
to change a bug to that state."

[2013-05-30 14:04 UTC] jmy at morgontech dot com

I'm also experiencing this problem, using 5.3.25.
It's definitely a valid bug.

[2013-06-04 18:51 UTC] ben dot claar at gmail dot com

Same behavior on fresh WAMP, fresh PEAR installs on Windows. Please re-open.

Maybe related to http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17016

[2013-06-04 19:22 UTC] ab@php.net

Hardly any PECL extension could be build the way you try on windows. If you want 
to build PECL extension for windows, please consult this wiki page 
https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild for preparing the 
environment. Some prebuilt extensions can be found under 
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/ .

[2013-06-04 20:45 UTC] ben dot claar at gmail dot com

OK, I misunderstood "pecl install". I didn't realize "pecl install <package>" 
tried to build the package from source. The expected behavior was to download and 
install the correct dll for my system; oops.

But that isn't related to this bug. This bug is that the pecl command gets 
confused if "php" is in the php_bin path more than once. That should be fixed, and 
this bug should be re-opened.

[2013-07-13 05:09 UTC] lblechl at madisoncollege dot edu

I agree, the expected behavior is still not occurring.

I'm experiencing the same issue with a standard WAMP install with PHP version 5.4.12. WAMP creates a C:\wamp\bin\php\php<VERSION_NUMBER> path containing the PHP executable by default. This seems to be consistent with what was suggested as the cause for confusion within pecl.

[2013-12-10 09:09 UTC] kingmansoor at gmail dot com

Well, I had a similar problem with my php5.3.5 version,installing memcached, where I got a warning that said, "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\php.exe appears to have a suffix \php5.3.5\php.exe, but config varibale suffix does not match.

I changed the php_suffix's default value to '\php5.3.5\php.exe', the warning was gone but the error remained i.e. The DSP memcached.dsp does not exist.
