I have looked at your code, this is not a class. I would recommend you rewrite it as an object with getter, setter and a parser method. While doing that, you could use PEAR coding standards. > Getopt Util: This is a utility to automatic show help messages and other > stuff to expand Console_Getopt capabilities. > I think "Console" category and Console/Getopt/Util.php woul > be great. > > http://www.phpclasses.org/goto/browse.html/package/252.html This one is under GNU GPL and requires Console/Getopt.php which is under PHP license AFAIK. It would be nice if you could change the license, but it's up to you :) Apart from that, I have seen it's all Spanish, you'll have to write it in English (error messages, documentation). I didn't look any further as I don't have the means to test it now. > Simple DB: A class to make simple ABM, searching and Listing of a DB. > I thought I can put it on "Database" and DB/Simple.php and > DB/Simple/* (now it uses DB and I'm thinking about making > it in make it a subclass of DB). > This is not public available yet. I am not sure it belongs to DB, but I will need to see what it does to tell you more. > Permissions: This is a class to set permissions based on phplib (with > bit operations). > I don't know where it can be, maybe in "Authentication"? > and in Auth/Perm.php?

This is cool, I like bit bashing very much, I use it all the time, it makes my code unreadable :) There is a Perm directory already, this package could fit there IMO. Just show the code and how it integrates with some other packages, if it does. > Hooks: Well this is hard to explain.

I'm sorry > but I don't the relation between this 3 things (maybe beacause is no > relation? :). AFAIK, this is not the case neither. But I think this will be used in the name of your class. So if your class is in Dir1/Dir2/File.php, it will be names Dir1_Dir2_File, now whether it extends something or not is up to you. > And finally, I'm behind a firewall (and not very friendly) in my work, > so I can't download packages using pear commandline tool.
