Re: Category-Proposal: Patterns

Well, I think of it no different that then PEAR object. It's an abstract class that provides some basic needs to children classes. > The problem with struts is that it is a framework. It's a problem? How so? >Pear as a framework is probably not what we want. Well I guess it is all about perception in my mind. I don't think of PEAR as a framework nor will I ever. In the spirit of PEAR meaning "PHP Extension and Application Repository" I would see framework stuff falling under the 'Extension' part of the definition. I see value in people being able to do 'pear install PEAR_mvc' and doing something quick like: class adminController extends PEAR_mvc_controller { } and class saveUser extends PEAR_mvc_action { } Those base objects could provide a lot of value and raise the bar in PHP coding quality. To that end, I think PEAR should lead that charge. -- Tony Bibbs "I guess you have to remember that those who don't tony@tonybibbs.com hunt or fish often see those of us who do as harmlessly strange and sort of amusing.
