Like Ryan (original post), I too am about to embark on a new website project and have the opportunity to do it differently. In the past I did the basic php/mysql connects, etc. But since reading this post, have looked into adodb and pear. Pear looks very interesting and I've given it a go. I like the looks of DB_Table, and how it integrates with HTML_QuickForm. I also like how pear has the commandline interface to search, install and update. But this makes me wonder ... are newer releases of classes always compatible with pages/scripts that I might have written earlier? If I update a class package, might it break my existing pages? And finally, does the pear project have enough momentum, and contributors, such that I can feel comfortable that it will be around for a while? I guess I'm asking these questions because the whole pear package repository seems very dynamic (in a good way). I'm just wondering if it does make sense to 'pack' up the pear classes, with versions related to my webpages, rather than assume the classes that get updated will always work with my stuff. Kind of a long winded question. Apologies. Kevin -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
