[Phplib-users] phplib vs. pear

[steve g. <li...@gr...>]

I've seen threads in the old list and this list that discuss pear vs.
phplib, but I'm still not sure _why_ pear didn't want to take the phplib
classes. I would like to generate a discussion within this list that
includes differences in database, session/auth, templates, forms and
other classes.

It seems to me that in some cases, pear gives me _less_ functionality
that pear;

DB - pear DB is slow and doesn't appear to give me any more granularity.

Session/ Auth - pear Auth uses php sessions rather than a database
session polynomial and variables.

I know that there is a strict set of coding standards for contributions
to pear.  Is there some set of practices inferred within these standards
that will tend to give more flexibility if pear is used?
