[phplib] status of phplib From: Arno A. Karner (karner <email protected>)

well myself i run a modified version of phplib, and saw the starting
demise of
phplib when i saw php4 native sessions, and pear::db. I was hopping that
phplib
would rise to the chalange, let go of the low level stuff as it becomes
the server
and start to grab higher on the ladder.

current bugs/fixs should be applied and new release made.

I would then hope that ppl like me who like, use phplib and apreciate
all the work
that went into it. Could mabe kick phplib into phpapplib by adding the
following

  1) more secure login control. ive hacked mine 5 bad logins the account
is locked
     no more unlimited hacking from the net.

  2) come up with a gracful solution to let go of the bottom lib
fuctions while we
     strive to come up with a common application requirments to support.

  3) support better control of session garbage control, to implament
temp tables
     in the data base abtraction. to support application locks that can
be used
     because table locks wont work across different sql threads.

  4) merge perm into auth, and come up with standard way to manage one
or more
     applications. with different permissions for core stuff, with very
custimizable
     permisions for each non admin application.

  5) admin management should contain a complete admin tool set to
maintain all common
     administrative functions users, sessions, servers, printers, etc..
so the applications
     dont have to reinvent the wheel.

in my code ive done 1,2,part of 4, and 5. i know that ive forgotton some
ive my ideas, but
its a starting place. if phplib decides to rise to the chalange count me
in, don't know
how much time i can put in, but will at least stay in the debate.

the way i wrote all my code was to make it use arrays on a stack to
store perm class data
this prevents every page that may see the data it doesnt understand from
having to declare
every class that could have registerd itself. which is why i wrote my
own query class.
didnt make any sence to keep adding more and more classes to
prepend.inc, so that a simple
yes / no dialog page would generate error messages undefined class
'date', 'querry', 'table'.....

my 2 cents, in hope that we can stop the whinning, the bickering, ......
