I get those errors when i run phpcs (the PHP_CodeSniffer pear package) (which i need to use PAReview.sh) on my MAC
PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in usr/lib/php/PEAR/Frontend.php on line 91 PHP Fatal
error: Class 'PEAR' not found in /usr/lib/php/PEAR/Frontend.php on line 47
The basically on line 47 the PEAR class is extended. The strange thing is that i have the PEAR class here
/usr/lib/php/PEAR.php
/usr/local/zend/share/pear/PEAR.php
but this is in my include path
include_path='.:/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library:/usr/local/zend/share/pear:/usr/lib/php'
What is worng?
My guess is that your include_path has a file named PEAR.php (case in-sensitive on Mac), which does not contain the class PEAR definition. I'd look through each of the directories in your include_path and see if there's another file that it is pulling in before the correct PEAR.php file (make sure you look in the current working directory as well, because you have . in your path).
