RE: [PECL-DEV] Form display and processing module?

Not wanting to put a dampner on the whole topic, but the policy is not to bundle stuff in PHP, as the core distribution is getting a bit too large to QA. The whole point of PECL is to manage your extension releases independently from the core. Not only that, but the "big boys" in the PHP group have made it known in the past that template-style extensions are not going to be bundled. (check the archives!) IMO, making QuickForm into a C extension is going to be a hell of a lot of effort and not much gain (but feel free to prove me wrong!). Keep in mind that extensions are developed as extensions because it makes sense to do so, not because it is a way to get code into the core. Why not petition the pear-core people to put the pear package in the bundled pear stuff ? --Wez. > >>1. People are hesitant to learn what they perceive as an optional > >>add-on to PHP.
