From: "PEAR Announce" on
The new PEAR package File_MARC-0.5.1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
0.5.1-beta
* Explicitly cast results to strings to avoid returning XML objects when File_MARCXML is in effect; problem doesn't show up in the PHP CLI, but does cause problems on the Web

Package Info
------------
The standard for machine-readable cataloging (MARC) records is documented at http://loc.gov/marc/. This package enables you to read existing MARC records from a file, string, or (using the YAZ extension), from a Z39.50 source. You can also use this package to create new MARC records.

This package is based on the PHP MARC package, originally called "php-marc", that is part of the Emilda Project (http://www.emilda.org). Christoffer Landtman generously agreed to make the "php-marc" code available under the GNU LGPL so it could be used as the basis of this PEAR package.
