Re: Documentation

Hi Keith, The closest thing to documentation for those packages that are not documented is available at http://www.phpdorks.net The output is patchy as it is generated from the source by phpDocumentor, but many packages have useful documentation there that do not have it through pear.php.net I often just grab the package I'm trying to learn, and run it through phpDocumentor with --sourcecode on, and then browse the generated highlighted/cross-referenced source to try to learn how it works.

Just discovered PEAR after having used my own HTML classes for some time. Nice. I'm looking for some guidance on QuickForm - is there a howto or a documented example somewhere? There's a lot of functionality there, and I just need to get a simple overview to start with. I'm actually finding it hard to find documentation on a lot of PEAR - I've read (and often refer to) the PEAR manual at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/, but there are lots of packages that are not listed there at all (eg, Var_Dump) ; others (eg, HTML_QuickForm) are not well documented. Then there are the package info pages (such as the Var_Dump page at http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=103), but these never have links to documentation. Is there some kind of reference manual somewhere that covers all these? Thanks, K.
