[hbmarar]

Hi,

Wishes.
While i try to install phpunit in Xampp I get the following line along with few other .
phpunit/PHPUnit requires PHP extension "reflection"

I googled a lot and no where i could find any such extension. what i shud do to find this extension. I removed one required need of image_graphviz by upgrading.

Requesting experts pointers, suggestion and tips or hints.
Thanks in advance

Do you have the latest version of Pear? If not, update to the latest and see if that helps on installing phpunit.

You'll need to update to the latest version of PHP first. You'll then want to run an upgrade all command (pear upgrade-all) to try to get the all the latest packages.

PHPUnit's a pain to install because it requires so much stuff be up to date.

Have you considered Simpletest? It's much more compatible.

Hi,

THanks for the reply. I will surely give simpletest a try. This is something new piece of information for me.

Thanks
