Recently I tweeted about phpclasses.org. It was not such a friendly statement:

Why does phpclasses.org still exist? Most of the “packages” contain dangerous, stupid or useless code.

Manuel Lemos, the man behind PHP Classes, made me pull back a bit by pointing out that I was generalizing and that they do what they can to encourage people to do a good job. I recognize their effort. And of course, there is also good code on phpclasses.org.
