[phpesp-dev] Pear support

[Stefan C. <sch...@ea...>]

So...

It seems like Pear is having some rave reviews down here. Here's what I'll =
do=20
: as soon as I got a dev environment with Oracle/ODBC running, I'll test th=
e=20
Pear connectivity. If it works, I'll move my phpEsp to PEAR. But,=20
unfortunatley, I have also several additional features that I have to add t=
o=20
the code that are not necessarily good for everyone. I'll try to maintain m=
y=20
code as re-importable in the main branch as possible, but there will be som=
e=20
work.

=46eatures I plan to add :

=2D More graphic generation
=2D A survey translation mechanism (I'll try to HACK it in the current code=
, so=20
don't expect something too clean)
=2D I simplified the "question" tab : removed Fieldname, length, precision =
in=20
favor of defaults (so yes, I killed some flexibility, but my users are=20
ranging from "I don't understand computers" to "I do understand them")
=2D Rewritten the core logi in question.inc, it was way too complicated,
uncommented and buggy, I expect my version to be done today. However, it'll=
=20
need a lot of QA attention.
=2D I'm also redefining the notion of group (which is pretty fuzzy anyway)
=2D I'm writing a user manual, all in Docbook.=B5
