I don't think HTTP_POST should be a separate class, but rather a customization of HTTP_Request. But if you make HTTP_Request you should complement it with HTTP_Response. HTTP_Response could store headers and maybe have a MIME content interface. > Pager_Array (http://phpguru.org/pear/Pager_Array.phps) > > Inspired by Tomas' DB_Pager class when I found it was specific to SQL > (doh!).

This is what I would want from a pager: * getting the previous/next page * setting page size * getting a page index: at what offsets do pages 2 to 8 start? * how many pages are there? * on which page does offset N occur? * which page is the last in the set? * is the last page complete? Just to prevent you from watching too much of that, ahem, terrestial TV :-) - Stig
