[PHPLIB-DEV] Please check out and test From: Kristian Koehntopp (kris <email protected>)

I have made a number of modifications to the current CVS over
the weekend. I plan to release this as version 7.2 in the near
future. Please check out the current CVS and test it thoroughly.
Please check the documentation, too.

If you have any last minute modifications that you want to see
as part of 7.2, please send them to me or check them in
yourself.

If you sent me bugfixes or extensions that did not show up in
the current CVS as of now, I have lost them. Please resubmit
them.

The following files and subsystems are in a state I do not like
or are not being actively developed. Please comment on them:

- The BLOB API.
  This seems to be actually useful and should be developed.

- db_usql.inc
  This is actually useful, but the filename is unfortunale, as
  this is not a database interface. The file should be renamed,
  and the functions should probably be merged with other
  generically useful database functions.

- layout_html.inc
  What IS this? And why is it useful? Does anybody actually use
  this?

- oohforms.inc
  The changes to the oohforms API (get_* functions) have not yet
  been documented, I think.

- query_sql.inc
  This seems to be an SQL query generator class, but it is
  underdocumented and a mess. Does anybody use this and why
  isn't this merged with db_usql.inc, if it is useful.

  I would like to have this reviewed by anybody BUT the author
  himself and cleaned up.

- sqlquery-eric.inc and sqlquery.inc
  These two should be merged, made more secure and generally
  cleaned up. Please comment, or send diffs.

  The version eric made is much more powerful, but probably too
  complicated to use for the casual user. One should be able to
  "downgrade" it to the original version?

- strings2.inc
  Does anybody besides the author use this? Should we keep this
  in the distribution, drop it or turn it into PHP native
  functions? I need feedback.

- tree.inc
  This looks more or less abandoned, too. Suggestions?
