Do you regularly use PEAR in your projects?

Question

PHP

The main question is in the title. I also wonder if it is reasonable to use PEAR libraries in mass distribution products (CMS, stores, forums) and include them in the build or leave the responsibility of installing packages to the user? If you used it before, but then abandoned this practice, tell us why.
I myself have used PEAR only once - for working with Excel, in other cases there were other less related classes.

Answer 1

Yes, an anonymous minus is cool, but writing a comment on the case is not given to everyone

Answer 2

I have used MDB before. Used everywhere, because it was convenient. But recently switched to PDO.

Answer 3

Looks like no one is using it.

Answer 4

Used Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer, but then switched to PHPExcel, which can do more cool stuff.
I still use the php5-dbase extension from PEAR to work with dBase

Answer 5

Looking for what. If these are products of mass consumption and installation on shared sites, then it is not worth it unambiguously. If your project works with Redis, RebbitMQ and other 3rd party stuff, then the pear implementation is always much more performant than the pure-php implementation, although it is most often present in case you don't have admin access

Answer 6

Так же интересно, разумно ли использовать библиотеки из PEAR в продуктах массового распространения (CMS, магазины, форумы) и включать ли их в сборку или оставлять обязанность установки пакетов пользователю?
It is reasonable to use it, include it in the assembly, yes, or provide the product with an installer that will download everything you need.
