*update*

Ready for this one?

I did what was suggested: putting in "path" as both user and system
environmental variable, rebooted my machine.. NO PECL

Then I added the path to the PHP executable to both user and system
"path"
environmental variables, rebooted my machine.. STILL NO PECL

Then I finally decided to just "wing it". I tried everything my
imagination could deliver to me..

When I got to the part where I needed to add lines to wampserver.ini
to
recognize php_fileinfo.dll with the "on" option, I got PECL!

In fact, I found that through backward engineering the problem, that
there
was only one solution:

1) Have php_fileinfo.dll within PHP's php.ini
2) Have php_fileinfo.dll within Window's php.ini
3) Have php_fileinfo.dll within wampserver.ini

If any of these steps are not included, alongside the obvious web
services
restart, then PECL is not recognized.

In fact, I was able to get full PECL recognition even after I took out
the
"path" user defined environmental variable AND even after removing
the
paths to the PHP executable from the "path" system defined
environmental
variable!

Thanx all!
Phil
