Sure it was. You brought up the numbers to prove a point - to bolster your side with a rhetorical question, but the numbers are suspect; they don't tell us how _useful_ the classes are. In my case, the classes I looked at left too much to be desired to be useful, but perhaps other classes on there _are_ useful - I just didn't need them at the time. You've created a repository - for that I thank you - but to imply that the number of visits or downloads or subscribers = the number of people actually using the classes is disingenuous at best.

Sure Mark, he's not pretending to have 75,000 users. That's where the "30,000 *REAL* users" fit in. Try

Oh, now that explains why you keep mentioned that figure. I would like to apologise to not have had time to update the banner. The 30,000 image was updated for the last time on 2001-03-26 . You may find the current figures here: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/statistics/statistics.html If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to the mirror choice page. Oh, BTW, the site is so successful, that it has now 33 activated mirrors around the world, although near 50 have been requested. I still have to make time to approve them all. I don't control the mirror sites. They are managed by people that really wanted to host mirrors of them and it is always good cooperate with them all. Are you going to be envious of this too? No? If you are willing to host a mirror, feel free to request it in this page, I promise that I will treat you fairly like every other mirror host. http://www.phpclasses.org/mirrors.html?mirroring=1

When you grow up you will realize the image of imaturity you are passing of yourself and the Sterlings of the world.

By the way, other than being a developer who's of course envious of Mr Lemos' tremendous success, Sterling is also the developer behind some of the most important XML work in PHP, CURL module, flash module, some compression modules and lots of all around work, and that's while being about half the age of Mr Lemos. Yes, he has a reason to be envy of Mr Lemos, no doubt.

Coding seems to be the only good things that you kids should be doing because when it comes to maturity it certainly explains why you haven't yet graduated from high school. :-) Seriously Zeev, how much do you want to aggravate the image of imaturity that you already passed to everybody? -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
