Re: PHPLIB

Matt, PHPLIB has some very cool stuff. If you only have PHP3 and need sessions (say, for a shopping cart), then it's exactly what you want. It has authentication and privileges built in which makes it particularly useful for my stuff. Plus some handy HTML widgets like Template, Table, and Tree. The trouble is that none of this has been upgraded to the PHP4-native-sessions stuff, so what used to be cool is now a little bit obsolete. I am hoping and praying that PHPLIB 8 integrating native sessions comes out some day. If I had the time at all, I'd join the CVS tree. They also have their own list: phplib@lists.netuse.de As for forum, phorum (www.phorum.org) is supposedly good.
