The PEAR book

PEAR bookIn case you've missed it - the PEAR book hit the streets! The exact title is "PHP Programming with PEAR" and it's co-written by Stephan Schmidt, Carsten Lucke, Aaron Wormus and yours truly. Aaron also put up a Wiki for book and PEAR-related updates, it's at thepearbook.com

I tried to put up a list of the packages and classes covered in the book, I've probably missed some classes, especially Date_* and Calendar_* ones, but I hope I got all the packages. Here goes (alphabetically) :

  • Calendar

  • Date_Holidays
  • Date_Span
  • Date_Timezone
  • File_PDF
  • HTML_Table
  • HTML_Table_Matrix
  • HTTP_Request
