:: Config_Registry (proposal)
Chapter 1

Introduction

I got this idea since september 2003, when i wanted to include a cool config manager for my project SW4P (Setup Wizard for PHP) also named HTML_SetupWizard.

I let down, for a while, HTML_SetupWizard my old PEAR package proposal since i've rebuilt HTML_Progress 1.0 API.
But now, i think its time for HTML_SetupWizard to reborn. So, with help of great contribution
PEAR::HTML_QuickForm_Controller (QFC), i've begun to work on a new implementation. Navigation is so easy with QFC, and my SetupWizard run better than before. I would thanks a lot Alexey Borzov to make my dream a reality.

On my way to build new SW4P API, i've in mind to enhance original features, and make a Wizard generator, something like HTML_OOH_Form. But i also wanted to make it reusable and not specific as was HTML_SetupWizard first proposal.
I've created a first version of plugin architecture that could be use with all HTML_QuickForm projects. I've been ready to launch my plugin proposal when i (re)discover the Horde framework.
On parse of registry.php i've this idea for PEAR: propose a Config_Registry class.
