Re: php5 packages - interfaces

It would be a simple package for sure, but a standard package with interfaces for PEAR packages would be great I think. It would contain a simply a series of common interfaces ... toArray, toXML, toHTML, etc. There would probable be other interfaces as well. I can imagine that the Net_* packages would have a common interface with functions like connect(), disconnect(), etc. DB should have one for it's drivers, etc. At any rate I think a package of common interfaces should be put together in anticipation for PHP5.

I agree that we should start collaborating on a set of interfaces for common "problems". However using them in actual packages will probably take a bit longer as for now our strategy is to have packages that are compatible with both php4 and php5. However eventually more and more packages will likely get new major versions that are php5 only. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
