Or even better, use PEAR's HTTP_Client. http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Client
Why better? Have you tried both packages?
I can make a guess as to why he would say this, aside from the obvious fact that one is part of the PHP project and one is not.
Visitng http://www.phpclasses.org/httpclient results in several pages of banner ads that one must navigate before finally being shown:
"You need to be a subscriber and log in to access this file."
Visiting http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Client results in a relevant page of information that contains a link to code, http://pear.php.net/get/HTTP_Client-0.1.tgz.
Ads or code. Which would you choose?

This is also a very good point.
Actually PEAR isn't a PHP project per se. It is simply supported by many of the PHP developers and by many very talented PHP coders. Another very important aspect of PEAR that I didn't mention in my other message is that PEAR has standards that must be upheld in all of their packages. The packages are also under peer-review; anyone cna download and use them and anyone can submit bug reports if they find an error or want a new feature. In addition, anyone can add a new package or a feature to an existing package (after it has been reveiwed, of course).
