Re: Merging PHPLIB into PEAR

I concur that this is great news. I have been doing some work on an Auth class based on some code from Colin Viebrock who in turned based it on some PHPLIB ideas. I will try and create a tarball of my work in progress in the next day or so in case it may be off some help. One of the main issues that I think you will face in the port is some of the stylistic issues associated with the PHPLIB API. The pear stuff tends to use java style method naming (e.g., $this->emptyCart) where as PHPLIB uses underscore separted names (e.g., $this->empty_cart). The reason why this may be a big issue is because I would suggest that PHPLIB violate the current standards (no flames please:-) because it would tend to break alot of existing sites that use PHPLIB if you changed the API. Maybe you could create some PEAR transformer script that could be used to update the api for older sites but I am not sure what kind of reliabilty you could get with such a script.

Such a great news !!! I was really worried to see phplib vanish one day. Now I think it is taking the best possible direction. Thanks for the efforts !
