PEAR has been distributed successfully with PHP since version 4.3. From the end user's viewpoint, there is no difference. go-pear.bat = go-pear.bat on windows, "make install-pear" = "make install-pear" on unix. The difference is in terms of the maintainers of PEAR, who will have to do a lot more work in order to synchronize new releases of PEAR than we do now. >> There are other changes that affect PEAR, which is why we are moving all >> packages to PHP 5+ currently. >> > > Could you please elaborate on that a little more? Not in this mailing list please. You are welcome to search the archives of pear-core and pear-dev, there has been a lot of discussion of PHP 5 and PEAR. Greg
