solution:

1.enable extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini

2.Check if include path pointed  to correct PEAR  directory

3. find out which php.ini is using by webserver by creating a test file with content  <?php phpinfo(); ?>

4.  open  the correct php.ini found in step 3 e and search for

; Windows: “\path1;\path2”
include_path = “.;c:\PEAR”

if it is linux you may need to change back-slash to forward-slash(/).
