Hello there,
Kristian Köhntopp and Ulf Wendel approached me today and told me that
they have decided to merge the existing classes and modules of
PHPLIB 7 and those that are currently beeing worked on (for PHPLIB
8, which will now never be released) into PEAR and asked me to
coordinate efforts in order to do so.
The merging with PHPLIB brings thought-through, well-tested classes
for Authorisation, User and Permission Management, classes for the
abstraction of forms (with Layout Management Engine) and a lot of
other stuff (table proxies, ...) into PEAR.
I hope everyone is happy with this step, at least I am. :-) Why?
Until now there were two standard repositories one could use and now
there is the opportunity to join the strengths of both.
One thing is for sure: The process of integrating PHPLIB's concept of
Auth/User/Perm into PEAR will not be finished over-night.
PHPLIB's Sess(ion) class is currently beeing ported to PHP 4 to act
as a wrapper for the native session-management functions of PHP 4.
What needs to be done now is port PHPLIB's classes for Auth/User/Perm
to PEAR::DB, because they are using PHPLIB's own database abstraction
system, which has come of age.
Ulf Wendel is currently working on the new OOHForms and a Layout
Management System. I am sure he can elaborate on this topic on this
list. Ulf?
A first, but rather unimportant step was my last commit which moved
the IT[X] template classes from phpdoc/redist to HTML/ and removed
the redist/ directory.
Yours,
Sebastian
