RE: [PEAR-DEV] Re: MVC and PHP

Stable, proven and working. Yet completely useless under IIS or any of the other webservers PHP/PEAR runs under. PEAR is about standards, interoperability and compatibility - not catering to just Apache. I, for one, like the idea of having a psuedo standard for parsing URI's into API/framework calls. Although, this is beginning to sound somewhat like the point of XML-RPC and SOAP. --Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Sérgio Carvalho [mailto:sergio.carvalho@portugalmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 10:38 AM > To: Pear Dev > Subject: [PEAR-DEV] Re: MVC and PHP > > > Dirk Zimmermann wrote: > > Hi, > > > > is there work on a PEAR MVC framework currently in progress? > > I have no idea, but I'm highly critical of the usage of MVC > patterns in > web scripting languages. > > Apache's URL rewriting engine takes care of mapping external URLs to > internal URLs.
