I agree to follow conventions. And there is no question about following these conventions in PEAR itself. PEAR is a class library, which is intented to be used *outside* of PEAR. I don't see much sense in offering an Autoloader for application developers who must follow the convention of the class library. I want to be clearly understood, that the autoloader should not do the autoloading inside of PEAR (although it could). Its purpose is beeing used as a component by any developer. There exists enough reasons to define classes outside of the PEAR conventions. Of course there is no need to avoid the PEAR convention. The autoloader does work well with them. But I don't really think that a class library should educate its users. Markus Malkusch
