PEAR

PEAR is a project to create reusable chunks of PHP code. Although you may uses PHP and not know about PEAR, the project is picking up steam and will soon play an increasingly important role in the construction of PHP websites (IMHO, anyhow.. :-)

• "PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. PECL, being a subset of PEAR, is the complement for C extensions for PHP. See the FAQ and manual for more information." [1]

Notes

• "PEAR is short for "PHP Extension and Application Repository" and is pronounced just like the fruit."
