[ANNOUNCEMENT] Tree-0.1.2 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package Tree-0.1.2 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - added example that can demonstrates the Tree-class optionally on either a DB, FileSystem, Array or XML-File - enhanced the returning of proper PEAR-errors - experimental FileSystem-class that can be used to read a directory structure and work on it using the known tree-methods - experimental Array-class which allows the same on arrays - check for existence of methods in the delegated-classes before calling them return proper PEAR-error if they are not implemented yet - implemented getChildrens method, for Memory-way Package Info ------------- Provides methods to read and manipulate trees, which are stored in the DB or an XML file. The trees can be stored in the DB either as nested trees. Or as simple trees ('brain dead method'), which use parentId-like structure. Currently XML data can only be read from a file and accessed. The package offers a big number of methods to access and manipulate trees. For example methods like: getRoot, getChild[ren[Ids]], getParent[s[Ids]], getPath[ById] and many more. There are two ways of retreiving the data from the place where they are stored, one is by reading the entire tree into the memory - the Memory way. The other is reading the tree nodes as needed (very useful in combination with huge trees and the nested set model). The package is designed that way that it is possible to convert/copy tree data from either structure to another (from XML into DB).
