Re: [Phplib-users] What is the 'standard phplib install'?

[Stephen W. <wo...@me...>]

I have to strongly agree with Gian's points below. There ARE the major
reason I picked phplib when building my applications. It has saved me a
lot of effort and allowed me to focus on making multiple applications
that seemlessly work together.

I would really help me if there was a standard configurator and install
mechanism.
