Hi, Klaus Guenther wrote:
- HTML_Template_IT: HTML/Template/IT_Error.php
What's even more interesting, this file contains class named IT_Error, which is *completely* outside the package's "namespace".
Well, we all know that this is a blip from long, long ago (just think: DB_Error).
DB_Error is within "namespace" of package DB, IT_Error is definitely not within "namespace" of HTML_Template_IT.
We of course won't allow things like that anymore. But what do you want us to do since we must maintain BC? ;) As someone pointed out, HTML_Template_IT is older than the current PEAR package. It was there well before I came to PEAR in 2002. In fact, it was in PEAR before PEAR had an installer - when PEAR was just a package collection that was included in the PHP install :)
In fact, when it was in this package collection, the class was named IntegratedTemplate, not HTML_Template_IT. Seems like it was OK back then to actually rename the class to conform to coding standards...
