PHPLIB is fairly modular. DB_Sql is the database framework, and CT_Sql requires DB_Sql (but CT_File and friends don't). Session uses a CT* class, and if you commit to CT_Sql you depend on DB_Sql as well. Using Auth requires Session, and using Perm requires Auth. These are about all dependencies. Template and Menu are useable independently, the OOH Forms framework again is interdependent, of course, but does not require Session, I believe. There is philosophy discrepancy, or impedance mismatch between current PEAR and PHPLIB, which is the greatest obstacle. It can be seen most easily when comparing DB_Sql against PEAR::DB. PHPLIB subclasses where PEAR parametrizes. Kristian
