It's kinda dead, having been upstaged by PEAR, but a lot of us still
have installed code which depends on PHPlib.  I've been migrating some
of this code to PEAR <http://pear.php.net/> routines and class by
writing libraries which mimic the PHPlib API but rely on PEAR for their
functionality.  See <http://www.fmp.com/fmp/fmp_include/>.  All the
class files with "fmplib" in their names are PHPlib knockoffs and
generally drop-in replacements unless you're using some of the more
useless and arcane features of PHPlib.

There's also a PermAuth class here which you may find useful.

All these have substantial and hopefully adequate documentation in the
header comments.

Check out Krumo at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/krumo/>.  You'll
find it a big help.  I still find, though, that using print or echo
calls sprinkled throughout a PHP script has its place :-)
