PEAR, the web site is currently not that functional, but rather contains minimal information about the goals and ideas of PEAR. If your looking to obtain pear classes and have php4 or greater, guess what? you already have those classes, PHP4 (every distribution of) comes with an updated set of classes. If you need classes that are available in later versions of PHP4 (such as Net_Curl) you can either do a simple checkout of the pear directory in PHP's CVS:: cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login --> password is phpfi cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co php4/pear and you should get the latest and greatest version of pear.... If your not adept with CVS, you can send me a mail for any class you want (or to the list)... There should be at least nightly builds (if that term could be used) on pear.php.net, I'll send you a note when there are.... Best Regards, Sterling Hughes sterling@php.net
