Have you ever used Perl? Its very similar to CPAN. In other words,
PEAR (PHP Extension & Application Repository), is a big collection
of PHP classes which you can search and download using the pear
utility. Once they are downloaded (usually into a directory in
PHP's include path) you can include them and use them just like
any class you write.
