Re: Re: Package Proposal: Pear_Info

Would you prefer to see the authors in a new row in each packages table, of just to have them all listed (organised by package?) in the PEAR Credits Page? I think I'd prefer the latter... Also, would a "back" link be desireable to get from the credits to the info again? I didn't add one as phpinfo() hasn't one (I assume for some reason...?) even though I feel it's necessary. (Might file a "feature request" bug on that for phpinfo() :) - Davey Alan Knowles wrote:

+1 It would be nice to add the author(s) - as credits where credits due :) Regards Alan Davey wrote:

I have now updated the info a bit, it now shows a link to the packages info and it also shows the latest version, and provides a link to download it if its newer than the local version. http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php and http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.phps - Davey Davey wrote:

Hey, Sorry for re-sending this, but I think maybe I broke some sort of protocol by not using this subject line. Either that or nobody likes my idea ;) I've written a small package to generate a phpinfo() type page for PEAR. I've called the Package PEAR_Info but thats obviously up to you to OK. You can view the output here: http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.php and yes, I have all those packages installed, someone thought it was listing all packages available. I want to add some more things to it, such as links to documentation, the lastest version (as opposed to the local one) and uhm, anything else anyone cares to suggest. I have made the output include anchors for each package in the form: pkg_Pkg_Name and it's case sensitive, so pkg_XML_RSS for example. If you wish to see the source, check out http://www.pixelated-dreams.com/~davey/PEAR/pear_info.phps - may still need a little PEAR coding standards compliancy work. Hope you like. - Davey
