Hi, This discussion is interesting to me because I joined this list to find out answers to these questions. Currently, we are working on a codebase for use with Indymedia websites (http://www.indymedia.org/) which can be seen at http://tech.sfimc.net/ The point is to develop a set of classes which can be reused to building Indymedia sites. Part of that includes a db abstraction class and a template class. I came here to find out if we should be moving towards PEAR's equivalent classes. But now I don't know. So, is PEAR an application framework (which is what I would call what we are doing)? Or can someone explain the difference between a framework and a "pool of classes that follow coding standards"?
