Proposal for a pearinfo() function

What about doing a pearinfo() function that will give "an easy to use" way to know the status of a PEAR installation ? I just put the idea in the attached file (Pearinfo.php). You can see a snapshot of what it can give (and the source code) at : http://pear.blavet.net Today the information is available through the 'pear list-installed' script. The function will give the ability for a user to know what he can use from pear (which package/which version), when he does not have access to the web/php/pear configuration and is only hosted on the server. And a question : Why is there not an entry in the php.ini file for pear ? Something like : [PEAR] install_path=/php4/pear pear_doc=/php4/doc Vincent
