Pear on windows displaying different version numbers

C:\PHP>pear upgrade pear
pear/pear is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.9.3
upgrade failed

C:\PHP>pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.0
PHP Version: 5.2.17
Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0

As you can see pear is confused to what version it is running. How can I go about fixing this so that PEAR is running on 1.9.3?

Update

C:\PHP>pear upgrade -f pear
downloading PEAR-1.9.3.tgz ...
Starting to download PEAR-1.9.3.tgz (295,774 bytes)
.............................................................done: 295,774 bytes

upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/PEAR-1.9.3
PEAR: Opti开发者_如何学Conal feature webinstaller available (PEAR's web-based installer)
PEAR: Optional feature gtkinstaller available (PEAR's PHP-GTK-based installer)
PEAR: Optional feature gtk2installer available (PEAR's PHP-GTK2-based installer)

PEAR: To install optional features use "pear install pear/PEAR#featurename"

C:\PHP>pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.0
PHP Version: 5.2.17

use pear upgrade -f pear

this will force to upgrade if the upgrade version is newer

to use the channel try giving this command

pear upgrade --force pear

this will update the base pear

Is pear really located in C:\PHP or just within your path? I'm thinking that for some reason, there are two PEAR installations.

You have two pear installations and upgrade the second pear with the first pear command.

Do a

$ pear list pear
...
script /usr/bin/pear

This is the pear script you want to execute. You are executing another one. Delete the other one and set your PATH variable to contain the correct path.

I uninstalled php and re-installed it again. All the problems then went away.
