I don't know what your preferred style is, nor what the "best" API would be, so I don't attempt to make direct stylistic recommendations. However, personally, I don't see why most users would appreciate such features being "hidden" in PEAR (no offence intended!) when other frequently-used string-handling functions are part of the compiled-in modules (e.g. parse_url, urlencode, addslashes, htmlentities, mysql_escape_string, etc.). You may conceive of URLs as objects that should have a class structure in PEAR, but I suspect that manipulating query strings and anchors is a vital procedural task in a vast number of PHP scripts. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
