Did you tried `pecl`? As far as I remember PEAR only provides (more or less quality) PHP-packages, but not extensions. – KingCrunch Jan 09 '13 at 12:58

@KingCrunch sorry there was a mistake, I mean PECL. – Yekver Jan 09 '13 at 13:08

Precompiled DLLs are available at http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/geoip/
These DLLs cover PHP versions 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5, including threadsafe (TS) and non-threadsafe (NTS). PHP 5.3 and 5.4 are compiled against VC9 on x86 while PHP 5.5 uses VC11 for both x86 and x64. You can figure out which to use in your PHP's phpinfo output.
The dll should go in PHP's extension directory - this varies depending on the installation. Look for "extension" in phpinfo's output to tell you what directory extensions are loaded from. Finally, in the php.ini, enable it via extension=php_geoip.dll
geoip databases are available via Maxmind's site. The free ones for geolite are available at http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/ - be sure to put the dat's in apache's bin directory.

The Windows PHP site states:
"PECL extensions for Windows is being worked on. The interface on the pecl website will most likely be updated to offer Windows DLL download right from that website. In the meantime, some extensions can be found here."
You can find the extension under http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
