Again, my email said this: "Not to bash on Manuel, but I find phpclasses to be littered with lots of crappy code and is too ad-laden and hard to use for me to bother" 1) NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK, 2) "I FIND" = my personal opinion, 3) it says "it has lots of crappy code" but in no way does that warrant the entire site. 4) opinion on the site's UI is again, personal. If I really wanted to bash the site, I could do it a hell of a lot worse. I am sad that you have to put at least 6 ad spots which almost completely distract from the content to keep it alive. Like I said, I give you props for offering a site like that, it has just not been personally helpful for me the numerous times I've stumbled across it. I just can't believe it needs that many ads, requires registration for almost everything ... forced ads before downloads, not to mention popups too? This is way off topic now though... re: phpclasses hosting phpmailer originally... that's great, i'm sure there's lots of code out there that's been on phpclasses but was never updated. The site doesn't do a lot of good though if it doesn't have links to the project pages (for updated versions) or is offering years old code on an outdated project. Like I've said, and both of you have reinforced that - this is a list with opinions, expertise, code samples, etc. If I produced something that you think is crap, you can call it crap. It's very simple. I could ask WHY it is crap, but otherwise I have to look at it objectively and understand varied levels of personal preference. In no place on this did I say "do not use phpclasses" - I simply shared my past frustration and suggested an alternative. Perhaps if I didn't share an alternative and simply posted to say "I hate that site" there might be more basis for this discussion. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
