Padraic Brady's Blog: To PEAR or not to PEAR? And how to PEAR anyway?
by Chris Cornutt October 24, 2007 @ 08:04:00
In his latest post, Padraic Brady takes a look at PEAR in a verb form - both in how you can use it and what sorts of things it has in store.
over the last few months after finally getting over my ignorance of PEAR beyond it being a hodge podge of packages of dubious quality I've been questioning whether pearifying my future and past code is worthwhile. The answer is a resounding YES.
Unfortunately, there are some barriers for most people to get into the PEAR world (including the lack of the "coolest packages") with some of the perceived barriers including:
- PEAR will require large scale changes to my shiny new cool code
- PEAR only allows proposals for complete functional code
- PEAR is elitist
- PEAR is fossilised
He also talks about PEAR packages and dispels one of the most popular myths about the package repository - "you can't use PEAR on a shared host".

Robert Swarthout's Blog: PHP frontend to Subversion (SVN)
by Chris Cornutt February 01, 2007 @ 10:33:00
In a new post to his blog, Robert Swarthout about a PHP frontend he's been developing for working with Subversion repositories:
The frontend needed to be designed in such a way that each developer could access their working copies and make the full range of actions against them. I decided to also use an AJAX setup so that pages would be quickly loaded and updated by a single toggle of a folder.
A few issues popped up, including tracking edits correctly through the interface. His solution revolved around an Apache MPM that could serve different pages to different users and groups. With this solution in place, the functionality could be built up, a list of which he provides including:
- create working copy from repository (svn checkout)
- svn blame
- svn delete
- search files (via a grep/find combination, omitting .svn folders)
- svn rename
