I’m trying to install composer but I can’t get phar module to work on PHP. The following packages were installed: `apache2-mod_php5 php5 php5-ctype php5-dom php5-ftp php5-gd php5-iconv php5-json php5-mbstring php5-mysql php5-openssl php5-pdo php5-pear php5-sqlite php5-tokenizer php5-xmlreader php5-zlib` But “php -i | grep -i -e phar” shows no result. Any ideas? OS: Suse Linux Enterprise 12 ---

we ran into the same issue trying to install [Composer](https://getcomposer.org), needed in a Web project: The install routing repors: > [@](#): > > Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly. Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again: The phar extension is missing. Install it or recompile php without --disable-phar Currently , PHAR (PHP archive) support is missing from SLES12, although it [should be part of PHP core](https://www.script-tutorials.com/phar-php-archiving-practice/#sthash.qLv2lcwd.dpuf): > [@](#): > > Phar extension appear in PHP since version 5.2. And since 5.3 – this is part of PHP core. Perhaps things change, if customers report their need to SuSE (as we did): it is a decision of product management at SuSE. Regards, Thomas ---

In php.ini for the cli, there is a section about phar. [Phar] ; [http://php.net/phar.readonly](http://php.net/phar.readonly) phar.readonly = Off ; [http://php.net/phar.require-hash](http://php.net/phar.require-hash) ;phar.require\_hash = On ;phar.cache\_list = I’ve tried phar.readonly = On and Off, but it made no difference. I’m also trying to install Composer.
