PHP: Class 'Phar' not found
Try specifying the path to the extension:
php -d extension=phar.so composer.phar <your_script>
Other options:
Based on the information you provided, there are a few possibilities:
You are using a different php.ini. Check the output of
phpinfo()
to confirm, and ensure that you are editing the active one./usr/lib/php/modules/phar.so is not readable. Ensure that the web server user can read this file.
Your web server has not been restarted since you last added the phar-related information to php.ini. Restart your webserver.
On CentOS ...
phar.so
is contained in thephp-common
package.- the
phar
executable is contained in thephp-cli
package. php-mbstring
andphp-bz2
also seems to be required.
When php -m | grep phar
returns nothing, one has to add these .ini
files for the CLI:
sudo cp /etc/php-zts.d/phar.ini /etc/php-cli.d/phar.inisudo cp /etc/php-zts.d/mbstring.ini /etc/php-cli.d/mbstring.inisudo cp /etc/php-zts.d/bz2.ini /etc/php-cli.d/bz2.ini
Alternatively, one can add the same module .ini
files as the webserver uses:
sudo cp /etc/php-zts.d/* /etc/php-cli.d/
It should look alike this:
$ php --iniConfiguration File (php.ini) Path: /etcLoaded Configuration File: /etc/php.iniScan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php-cli.d/Additional .ini files parsed: /etc/php-cli.d/bz2.ini,/etc/php-cli.d/mbstring.ini,/etc/php-cli.d/phar.ini
Then one can run it:
$ php ./composer.phar ______ / ____/___ ____ ___ ____ ____ ________ _____ / / / __ \/ __ `__ \/ __ \/ __ \/ ___/ _ \/ ___// /___/ /_/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ (__ ) __/ /\____/\____/_/ /_/ /_/ .___/\____/____/\___/_/ /_/
And move it below the $PATH
:
sudo mv ./composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
