Therefore, the +new code is 100% backwards compatible. + +If you like my code, but don't "trust" it's backwards compatible, maybe we +offer it as beta code, in a new directory for a release or two? + +------------ +What's To Do +------------ + +I've vascillated over whether to use a single function to get/set +parameters: + +$user = ADODB_Session::user(); // get +ADODB_Session::user($user); // set + +or to use separate functions (which is the PEAR/Java way): + +$user = ADODB_Session::getUser(); +ADODB_Session::setUser($user); + +I've chosen the former as it's makes for a simpler API, and reduces the +amount of code, but I'd be happy to change it to the latter. + +Also, do you think the class should be a singleton class, versus a static +class? + +Let me know if you find this code useful, and will be including it in the +next release of ADODB. + +If so, I will modify the current documentation to detail the new +functionality. To that end, what file(s) contain the documentation? Please +send them to me if they are not publically available. + +Also, if there is *anything* in the code that you like to see changed, let +me know. + +Thanks, + +Ross + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
