Hi, It's nice having an out-of-the-box solution - everything just works fine, just load the module (i.e. uncomment # in php.ini). Nevertheless, who actually decides how a module's interface is designed? I know, there are some guidelines, but this still ressembles too much to anarchy in my eyes. What belongs into PEAR and what has to be done as module? IMHO, a programming language gives the user essential basic abilities, such as creating sockets, file system access, of course providing a syntax, memory mangement etc.. and then it's up to the PHP developer to create additional modules. This will provide better transparency to the end-developer as he will be able to look at the PEAR-sourcecodes and actually /understand/ what is being done. Why does every PHP developer has to know C only to understand how such modules work?
Too many modules were developed lately. Why not add a daniel-module which only serves my needs, but goes into the main CVS tree? Correct me, if I'm wrong. Your opinions please :) Daniel Lorch -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von : Daniel Lorch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Datum : Mittwoch, 5. Dezember 2001 Betreff: [PHP-DEV] [NEW EXTENSTION]: templates Hi, If I unterstood these guys correctly, they are developing a compiled PHP-module (/ext/template/ or whatever). If ONE person decides to do it, automatically some one else will not be able to contribute his sourcecode, what is actually not a good thing. Maybe, Andrey Hristov's code would be much better than the existing one, but it won't be accepted because the other one has already become de facto standard of PHP, and it's in the manual, nobody wants to change habits etc...

New extension (ike the one, we are talking about) will go to PEAR and will not be included in the main source tree (unless they are extremely important).
