I'd say they are pretty much the same, with the DB being a tad more
fussy if it needs authentication. But I was talking about the work
flow. I was saying that fopen and an fgetcsv loop is easier than the
import *plus* the read from DB.

That looks very good.

I'd always assumed (without any justification) that it was the PHP
equivalent of CTAN for TeX or Hackage for Haskell -- that most of the
good stuff would eventually end up there (with some bad stuff that needs
to be filtered out). Maybe PEAR is administered in some why that puts
people off, or maybe PHPMailer is a lone example?
