Two minor documentation issues: On the script that can be received via go-pear.org or pear.php.net/go-pear the following windows instructions are included as comments:

#  > php-cli -r 'readfile("http://pear.php.net/go-pear");' > go-pear
#  > php-cli go-pear

(a) as with the final release, the PHP CLI executable is called php (not php-cli) and resides in the cli subdirectory

(b) the parameter for php -r must be included in double quotes, you get an error message using single quotes. The following works:

php-cli -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear

whoops, I copied&pasted a typo into (b); correct is:

cli\php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear

Actually those two commands can be replaced with:

cli\php -n -r "include 'http://go-pear.org/';"

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

A new version of go-pear should appear online within an hour.
