PEAR::DB breaking with PHP 5 beta2 - was RE: PHP5 and PEAR

Packages in PEAR will start migrating to the new PHP 5 object model at their own pace.

Not sure about PEAR::DB, I am cc'ing this message to the pear-dev list so you might get a better response from the maintainers. --- Mark Hensler <mark@maxalbert.com> wrote: > > No, I've already got PHP working with MySQL.
