Do you think the class should be put somewhere outside > the DB package as an add-on, or inside it as a regular driver? My bet is for making your class as a package it self. The you could be able to mantain it the way you want. Then at install time your package could be placed in the directory you need. Please read more about what PEAR packages are at: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pearweb/doc/pear_package_manager.txt Perhaps a better name for your package to match the filesystem structure <-> class name mapping, could be DB_ldap (under the pear/ CVS module). So people could be able to use: $ldap = DB::connect('ldap://...'); without any problem. Good enough? Tomas V.V.Cox
