+MDB2 (database abstraction), HTML_QuickForm (HTML forms management),
+PhpDocumentor (auto-documentation generator), DB_DataObject
+(Data Access Abstraction), and many hundreds more. Browse all
+available packages at http://pear.php.net, the list is constantly
+growing and updating to reflect improvements in the PHP language.
