Yeah, that could work. On the other hand I think most/many people will have zlib included. So in that case the installer could/should first check for a compressed file [.phaz?] (if it supports the compression) otherwise just use the uncompressed file. >> 2.

'/install-pear.phar',$a);" $(srcdir) At first look this looks like a good solution, i don't know if it is due to a bad copy paste but my test fails right now. The only problem i see with this is that this occurs on 'make install'. I think ideally the download should at least occur in the configure or make process, especially since pear gets installed so late in the process. If the download fails for what ever reason, the person is going to have a partially installed php.
