Alexander - is there a plan to get this on to cvs.php.net, I could start looking at moving APD,bcompiler,Soap, DB_DataObject and HTML_Template_Flexy into it. regards Alan alexmerz@php.net wrote:

New Comment: Every entry headline is written as Package::Function. It does not indicate any static behavior. Peardoc 2 will clearifed this. See Draft on http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~meal/php/peardoc2/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-26 11:37:05] stephan@wanderinghorse.net DB_Result::tableInfo() docs say as follows: ------------------
DB_Result::tableInfo() -- returns meta data about the    result set    Description    mixed tableInfo (DB_Result $result [, mode $mode])    ...    ------------------  That is misleading, however: it cannot be called  statically.    $res = $db->query( "select foo from bar" );     DB_Result::tableInfo( $res );      fails with "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a  non-object in DB.php on line 828"   It must be called on an object:    
 $res = $db->query( "select * from hits where false" );    $ar = $res->tableInfo();    print_r( $ar );
