"Despite the fact that the "A" in PEAR stands for "Application" there is a simple reason why applications are not yet supported: Until now nobody has gotten around to make the infrastructure like the PEAR installer capable of handling packages that provide complete web applications. When the situation changes, this site will be updated. " [1]I agree that the statement needs to be revised but not the way you are thinking. It is an A for Application not a WA for Web Application. There are already plenty of applications in PEAR most notably the PEAR installer. There are several others: http://pear.php.net/package/PhpDocumentor http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR_PackageFileManager_GUI_Gtk http://pear.php.net/package/Gtk_VarDump http://pear.php.net/package/Gtk_MDB_Designer http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR_Frontend_Gtk Scott Mattocks
