[Phpwiki-talk] Another PEAR bug, and the move to adodb (possibly)

[Lawrence A. <la...@us...>]

The backlinks from 
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/alpha/en/CarstenKlapp'sCalendar  do not 
work.  It looks like a PEAR quotestring problem to me.  I am pleased to say 
that the adodb version works fine (apart from a php notice which is 
something to do with the use of multiple index files on the alpha site, I 
think).

More generally, what are people's views on moving over to adodb permanently?

For some issues arising, see

The reason I chose DB.php in the first place is it will eventually be 
present on every installation of PHP. They have been very slow to make a 
clean, featureful version though. Using ADODB means the user (admin) has 
to install it on her box before installing PhpWiki, which is a barrier 
to entry I try hard to avoid. (I can't use Galleon or Jabber for that 
very reason; I can't be bothered to upgrade everything to the latest and 
greatest just to test something out.)

If we can distribute ADODB with PhpWiki in such a way that it can be 
called directly, no installation required, then fine, we could do it.

Yes, and still PEAR is not in the distro, and PEAR is not fully
finished, and more slow ... And ... :)

Nope, no need to do a special install for ADODB, just releasing 300 kb
in another dir.

Yes you can.

Yes we can.  We only need to include three or four files.  It might be 
better to check for a previously installed version, or at least allow the 
user to specify whether he wants to use the adodb that comes with phpwiki, 
or some other version.

Right now the needed code from both the ADODB and PEAR libraries
are included (in our CVS repository.)  So that's not an issue.

Personally, I'm sort of straddling the fence on which interface to
prefer.  I like the Pear::DB API better than ADODB's.  I do not
doubt that ADODB is faster, but I do not think that's really a
big issue in our case.  If PHP does start shipping (consistently)
with a reliable version of the PEAR library, that's a strong
plus of Pear, in my view.
