Hello, First let me say that I have a big problem with the name. PhpHtmlLib basically claims to be the whole HTML category. So that would need to be changed. > I know that PEAR has the HTML classes, but I believe phpHtmlLib has a > lot to offer for PEAR users. According to the FAQ, > PEAR can contain "competing" classes/libs, so I thought I'd ask. It seems to me that you should break it up into various elements or else call it a template system (e.g., HTML_Template_PhpHtmlLib). However, you also have the possibility of creating a package of the existing solution that can be installed using the PEAR installer, without being part of PEAR. That sounds like the best solution to me. > The problem I have is where does phphtmllib fit in PEAR. phphtmllit > seems to fit under the HTML > as well as the XMLproject spaces, but its much more then just that.

As for the UI category... it sounds interesting... and could contain all template classes, etc. In principle, I think it would be a good thing, but recategorizing classes would be a mess. Klaus
