PEAR::File::DNS

PEAR::File::DNS is a PEAR package I wrote. File::DNS is an object oriented editor of zonefiles. With it you can simply read, edit and write new or existing zonefiles..

File::DNS is released under a BSD Style License, and can be installed using the PEAR Installer. For more information, check out the File_DNS Homepage

On PHP5, and File_DNS
By Cipriano Groenendal
Published: May 8, 2007

Recently there was a large discussion on the PEAR-Dev email list about new PHP5 packages depending on older PHP4 packages, and how that would prevent new packages from becoming E_STRICT. In response, I've come to realize two things:
  1. It's been almost 3 years since PHP5 has been released, and PHP6 is already being developed. PHP5 is mature, and should be used whenever possible
  2. I'm switching File_DNS over to PHP5. Even though it's initial release got into PEAR before the RFC on E_STRICT and New Packages got accepted, and I could release a PHP4 version, I won't. Instead, I'll be documenting all my steps to making it a PHP5 package, and see what needs to change to PEAR's manual to make development of new PHP5 packages easier for new developers.
