    Nice package, but why do you need overloading at all for this class?

    If I interpret the code directly, a trackback always needs the same data. Why not store them as public properties directly?

    Would be faster and still provide the same interface.

    Just my 2 cts,

    @Stephan: Fully agreed. I guess I will remove overloading completly instead of making it PHP5 compatible.

    Thanks for removing the overloading, PHP4 overloading is very broken.

    In Trackback.php you have a constructor with some docblocks (and params) but no implementation. Looks like those params should be for the create function.

    The following is, of course, my opinion, but makes sense to me from a style perspective.

    I would suggest not using a heredoc in getResponseSuccess(). You only use single quotes in there so it would be very simple to just use double quotes instead of the heredoc.

    I also noticed that you used single quotes for your attributes in the <?xml sections. Why not use double quotes for the attributes and single quotes for the strings?

    Additionally, you're using double quotes for the strings in getResponseError() when single quotes would be sufficient.

    I contacted the original author some weeks ago for the same issue:

    I have still interest for this package. But it has no public release,
    because my hard work and little problems of my cvs account of php.net
    and PEAR account's permission.

    My local release of Net_TrackBack is available:

    http://php.hoge.org/Net_TrackBack-0.1.0.tgz

    I agree too for change prefix Net -> Services, and merge Sebastian's
    code.

    Please put a channel.xml somewhere for when you're offline, I can't even install the stupid thing to fix bugs in pearweb without it (fortunately I can scrape together one from others I have lying around, but others didn't write the code for channels and won't know how to do that).

    You can do

    pear channel-discover http://www.schlitt.info/channel.xml

    and then

    pear install http://www.schlitt.info/Services_Trackback-0.4.0.tgz

    and installation will work just fine without need of the channel server.
