PECL is deprecated. PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) replaces PECL and is recommended to install extensions. Find out more at » https://github.com/php/pie
There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:
The pecl install extname command downloads the extensions code automatically, so in this case, there is no need for a separate download.
The PECL website contains information about the different extensions that are offered by the PHP Development Team. The information available here includes: changelog, release notes, requirements, and other similar details.
pecl download extname
PECL extensions that have releases listed on the PECL website are available for download and installation using the » pecl command. Specific revisions may also be specified.
git
Many PECL extensions reside on GitHub.
SVN
Some PECL extensions also reside in SVN. A web-based view may be seen at » https://svn.php.net/pecl/. To download straight from SVN, the following sequence of commands may be used:

The PHP project compiles and offers Windows DLLs for most PECL extensions on the package page.
