Re: Re: Ajax PEAR package

Oh Jesus, let's not get ahead of ourselves and start calling AJAX "new" technology people. Last time I check both JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest have been around for quite some time now. It's just the current buzz word for a previously ignored technology (until Google started using it, which means it's cool now - does this remind *anyone* of High School mentality?) Also, the "no dupes" rule has been broken before (MDB anyone?) so I don't see any reason to enforce it if we're allowing dupes for core packages already. Finally, I agree the name should be XML_HttpRequest or something along those lines. --Joe On Jul 13, 2005, at 11:07 AM, Stowe, Nola wrote:

Mighty arrogant of you there to ASSUME its *half-baked* Just beside its "new technology" doesn't mean someone knows know how to use it and is using it properly. How do you know how much time Luca has put into this? Actually the technology has been around a very long time as you probably know. I say lets put in in Pear now and BAKE it. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Eichorn [mailto:josh@bluga.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 12:12 PM To: Lukas Smith Cc: Luca Mariano; pear-dev@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] Re: Ajax PEAR package Lukas Smith wrote:

Hi, I've just rolled out a little php class that makes the creation of Ajax XHTML pages a very easy and quick work. Basically it uses introspection to auto-register avaible methods both on the server side (php) and on the client side (js code working on an XMLHttpRequest object). Since I noticed that there is no PEAR implementation of Ajax specs, what about considering HTML_Ajax?

Just shooting into the dark .. but isnt there some overlap with the recent webservices wdsl generation proposal? regards, Lukas

AJAX is a pretty wide open field in the php world right now, we don't need a half baked implementation in pear. Once your class has been used for awhile and get the kinks worked out we can think about adding it to PEAR. -josh http://blog.joshuaeichorn.com/ajax-resources/library/ (Other libs, and I have about 4 more to add to this list) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The information in this email and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
