Posted: 13 Jan 2013, 20:18pm - Sunday

This guide is installing PHP composer.phar and proceed to ZendFramework 2.x setup/installation. First, go the your PHP installed directory then cast the command; 

cd C:\php\bin
C:\php\bin>php -r "eval('?>'.file_get_contents('https://getcomposer.org/installer'));"
At the same working directory, C:\php\bin, create a file named composer.bat and it should contains the following; 
@ECHO OFF
SET composerScript=composer.phar
php "%~dp0%composerScript%" %*
Then test it if its working... 
C:\php>composer.bat
