Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Hard code in the PEAR libs

[Brian W. B. <br...@tu...>]

I'm going to have to agree with Jeremy on this. A -1 from me as well.

This is really a systems issue. If PHP/Apache/MySQL is not properly
installed, phpWebSite won't work. The PEAR libraries need to be installed.
And as Jeremy points out, it is:

o Easy

o Available in boot "root" and "non-root" forms.

I think many who have had problems with PEAR are just having problems with
their systems. Many don't RTFM, so to speak. Not to mention that this
should a settle down with the next release of PHP. The PEAR stuff is just
out-of-sync at the moment. Another reason for the -1.

I propose reviewing the documentation - let's see if we can improve on
that front.
