OK, so what help do you require?
PEAR and PECL that work with PHP5.4 out of the box?
At least the core of PEAR that does not throw strict warnings from a stock
install of PHP5.4 as E_STRICT is on.

While I can sympathize with your problems fixing bad code left by other
people, I am not sure how it is relevant on this list - is there
something that people present on this list can help you with? What is it?
I think that this is the problem here. "fixing bad code" is simply not a
statement that I recognise! I am not fixing bad code, I am re-writing much of it
simply because the style is no longer acceptable, or somebody changed a default
setting without considering the consequences ( <?= not working in PHP5.3 is
STILL biting as ISP are only upgrading to PHP5.3! )
I still have not had a proper answer to a question I repeatedly ask. "Please can
we have some tutorials on how 'strict' styling should be used?" I'm fixing the
warnings created but I still do not fully understand what I am fixing. The main
rework area has been not being able to use '$this' in static functions, even if
the function checks $this and defaults to the static code internally. Adding
'public/private/protected/static/self ...' and using them in the right places is
well documented in bits and pieces, but there is no general 'how to' put the
whole together? I suppose someone will want to add traits and the rest to that,
but just a simple style guide for the basics would be nice ...
