Do not worry, PEAR works well with PHP5.

If there are issues, they should not be difficult to fix. Feel free to test what you use with php5 and report any problem you have. > I have this horrific fear that I'll be going through 30k lines of code > and updating my API all along the way when PHP5 comes out. No that will not be the case. And as I said to Toby, this is too early to make strong choises or changes in PEAR regarding PHP5. PHP 5.0 will bundle a PEAR 1.x release. That means a fully compatible release with any previous releases (except the bugs ;) ). So do not worry too much about your framework. That's true for any of you. Regards, pierre
