Cool - thanks for the prompt info Lucas, First - I gotta apologise for the excess messages - Outlook decided to throw a Benny, things went pear shaped (pardon the pun) for a bit :( The main processing engine would be use the XML_Serializer - that's what I'm using at the moment - and why reinvent the wheel? Currently I'm building a hash of categories - either statically or via a database. The Database side of things uses a subclass of DB_DataObject and uses defined links to pull extra items - if necessary. As nothing existed within PEAR already - I thought I'd wrap it up and define an interface.

I wouldnt force the use of any storage layer at all. To be honest in my opinion it seems to be like this is more of a sample of how to use PEAR. Which is obviously not a bad thing! However it seems to me like its going to end up being just a few lines of glue code with probably just as much config code. Turning this into a package itself is likely to be less flexibile or create too much overhead. regards, Lukas
