[Fwd: Re: [PEAR-DEV] MVC revisted]

And tony forgot the ML :) -----Forwarded Message----- From: Tony Bibbs <tony@tonybibbs.com> To: helgi@trance.is Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] MVC revisted Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 10:13:35 -0500 My hope is to get concrete reasoning behind this. On PEAR's own site it says "PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components". That's exactly what this MVC implementation provides, a framework to develop reusable PHP components. Also, this package *is* simply a library and best yet it is meant to leverage a lot of what is in PEAR already. Whether or not other PEAR packages are used is completely up to the developers. I guess a question I would have is what is the negative impact of this in PEAR. Before a final decision is made I'd like some in the Group to at least try the package so they might have a more concrete view of what it can do. I realize that may not be feasible however it may give better insight...insight that may still leave you and the same conclusion but at least it would be a more informed decision. --Tony Helgi Þormar wrote: >On Tue, 2004-05-11 at 14:55, Tony Bibbs wrote: > > >>Some time ago I posted about the possiblities of including an MVC >>framework into PEAR.
