Hi Folks: HTML_Form had three outstanding bugs in the bug system. In addition, there were several undocumented bugs. The existing package is maintained by Stig and hasn't seen any activity by him since January 2003. The existing release is approaching a year old. Though I haven't attempted to communicate with Stig about this package, I figured it wouldn't be worth bothering because I've never received a reply from him on other matters. Even though HTML_Form is superceded by HTML_QuickForm, the package is still in use and it's still in the repository. So, it should work right. So, I took it upon myself to overhaul the package. Each method has been tested. The package validates and installs properly. The changes have been committed to CVS. Perhaps I should have waited, sorry. Either way, check out the changelog to see what was done. In closing, release 1.0.1 is broken and leaving it as the official version of HTML_Form reflects poorly on PEAR's quality. I hope the you agree that turning the recently committed code into a new release is a good idea. Thanks, --Dan PS: I'm not on the QA list. -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
