    Hi

    Since Pear are just Classes written in PHP, why cannot we just use them directly in our code just as we include normal class pages? Why do we have to install the Pear package before using them?


    Thanx

    Well, because it is a framework. It is like jQuery and JavaScript :)

    Correct, but we never install jQuery, which is like plug and play.

    I think you can directly include them too, if they are in root directory. Just like smarty classes, they can be installed and used directly too.
