« on: April 03, 2009, 12:15:57 AM »
Can anyone explain what these do and what the difference is between them? I am totally confused after reading a bit around them.  :'(

PEAR is a fruit, smarty is a small candy....one is healthy the other not. AdoDB sounds like a disorder that kids get if you ask me ;)

Smarty is a template engine for generating page layouts..
AdoDB is a DB access tool
PEAR is a whole collection of useful libraries and a system for managing them.

Comparing the differences ...well that like comparing appes to oraanges....(if youll excuse the last fruity pun)

I say just keep reading...ITs not necessary that you understand everything after only spending a short amount of time reviewing it....try out some of the many tutorials that go with them...look over the list of libs that come in PEAR....

CodeStryke made a very good explanation of them and WHY to use a any specific one.. And the others (like Sinzygy, Zeggy.etc) also contributed a great part in it..
I forgot the link, try to search for those words by the author codestryke
I think Zeggy did sticky them..
