OK, so what would it look like? Show me a comparable snippet of PHP code. How does one enable this feature if its off by default? Why is it off by default? I guessing it opens up security issues and/or has side effects. Not conducive to enterprise-level computing, imho.
What is PEAR? Is that like the standard JavaSE library? The last time I was on php.net it seemed to be something that must be downloaded separately from the php server. >relies on OS abilities. Does this mean my PHP code would have to tailored to Windows, MacOSX, or Linux? Please clarify.
