| Question : | What is PEAR?
| | Answer : | Quoted from PEAR's homepage at http://pear.php.net/
"PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components."
So what can PEAR be used for?
In short it's will be a full framework for building php applications, meaning there will be classes for most purposes you can use instead of writing your own code. If you are a current/former perl programmer PEAR has simalaraties to perl's CPAN framework. For more information about PEAR and how you get started look at the following articles:
