title: phar Class not found
body: <p>I am trying of install the dependency manager for php "composer", but "composer" needs the extension "phar". I've realized php6 comes with phar by default, but is disabled and not necessary in order to execute "phar" files.</p>
  
  <p>When I try execute "composer.phar" (in the cmd: php composer.phar) it throws the error:</p>
  
  <p><code>Fatal error: Class 'Phar' not found in composer.phar on line 13.</code></p>
  
  <p>If I try to execute the Composer installer, "installer.php" (in the cmd: php installer.php) throws this error:</p>
  
  <p><code>Some settings on you machine make composer  unable to work properly. Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:</code></p>
  
  <p>The phar extension is missing.  How can I fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Should I install it or recompile php without <code>--disable-phar</code> I am using appserv 2.6.4 (apache 2.2, php6, mysql 4).</p>
