title: Composer install error
body: <p>I have been testing laravel in my local development environment. When I try to upload my sample project to my testing server, I realize I need to upgrade from php 5.2.17 to 5.3.15 (and install composer). I started having problems.</p>
  
  <p>I use http to install because composer was complaining about ssl (even when I have <code>extension=php_openssl.dll</code> enabled</p>
  
  <p>I have the following behavior:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ curl -sS http://getcomposer.org/installer | php -d detect_unicode=Off -d allow_url_fopen=On
  #!/usr/bin/env php
  Some settings on your machine may cause stability issues with Composer.
  If you encounter issues, try to change the following:
  
  The openssl extension is missing, which will reduce the security and stability of Composer.
  If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
  
  Downloading...
  
  Composer successfully installed to: /xxx/composer.phar
  Use it: php composer.phar
  
  $ php composer.phar
  ??????????$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, every command I try to use over composer (help about info) return the <code>???</code> message.
  What's happening?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for answering, I can't see anyone with this same error</p>
