Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] File or DB driven? Or both?

[<ev...@ly...>]

Smarty is just a LGPL php class that can be included in the=20
distribution of phpicalendar.
It requires PHP 4.0.6 or later. So it only boils down to PHP version on=20=

this one.
As for PEAR it is automaticly installed in all newer releases of PHP,=20
and the include path
is set to use this as well (so if you just use require('DB.php'); it=20
will use the one from the PEAR distribution).
I'm not sure what version of PHP started including PEAR in it's=20
distribution, but this is not a problem either. The PEAR DB classes can=20=

be located in the inc/ directory, and if PHP can't find that PEAR is=20
installed, it just uses the files from the include directory.
I'm also not sure about what version of PHP PEAR requires.

The end point, there are no requirements for the user other than the=20
version of PHP when using these frameworks.

Yes, if the end-user would need XOOPS already installed, then it really
isn't an option. We don't even want to require they have a database,
let alone a specific CMS. Does that apply to Smarty or PEAR? If we
choose to use either of those classes, will the end-user be required to
have anything special (or will a minimum version of PHP be enough?)
