I'm just starting to use PEAR, and have seen several ways of instantiating the PEAR objects: $form = new HTML_QuickForm(); $form =& new HTML_QuickForm(); $dbh = DB:connect("dsn"); $dbh = new DB(); $mail_object =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params); Can anyone explain (or point to dome docs that explain) what the differences are, and when I should be using which method to work with PEAR objects? Thank you, Beau
