title: XAMPP composer PHP Fatal error: Class 'Phar' not found
body: <p>i'm trying to install ZendFramework 2 and composer (to deal with dependencies) on open suze. My local server is XAMPP. phpinfo() shows Phar enabled but trying a 
      php composer.phar self-update
  or even php composer.phar install 
  only results in the same error: PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Phar' not found in ..path/to/zendFWApplication.</p>
  
  <p>I'm kinda lost here... any help would be great.
  Thank's</p>
