Re: standards etc..

okay. sound quite logical except for the "at the root directory". read something here about top-level-directories, like / HTML/ FORM/ main.php css_extension.php TABLE/ main.php td_span.php XML/ ... and assumed this was the directory structure that pear was using. i have to admit that i haven't looked into pear very much, except for reading about it on php.net and reading most messages on news.php.net. but from what i've gathered it doesn't seem to be very organised, at the moment that is. so, that's sort of why i'm asking this. 'cause _IF_ stuff haven't been decided and you are still changing major stuff, then i'd love to help (if i can). if not, then i'll just shut my mouth :o) thanks again / d ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Jansen" <mail@martin-jansen.de> To: "Daniel Andersson" <daniel@avantnoise.com> Cc: <pear-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 18:25 Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] standards etc.. > On Thu, 23 Aug 2001 17:38:33 +0100, Daniel Andersson wrote: > > >been there, but didn't see anything about "directory structures". > > > >i'm just curious about the whole project and as far as i can tell from the > >news-group, there isn't much of standards set. > > Currently we are having some troubles with a unified directory > structure, because we are using two different repositories for > PEAR code.
