any way to get back PEAR DB functionality from 4 years ago?

I have an application built in 2007 that makes extensive use of PEAR's AUTH and DB packages. It had been mothballed but out again now. Since those packages are not available and pear has completely changed, it no longer works in my system.

Outside of rewriting the entire software, is there anyway to get the previous functionality of DB & AUTH packages?

Thanks.

If you don't mind doing some investigative work yourself, you could look at the changelog pages for both of those packages - at http://pear.php.net/package/Auth/download/All and http://pear.php.net/package/DB/download/All to determine which version of these packages you had installed and used when you developed your application.

Once you've confirmed and installed the specific versions of these packages that you need, you might want to consider writing what's called a "PEAR Meta Package" and committing it to your version control system so that you can ensure these specific packages can be easily installed again (on other servers, whichever) with minimum hassle.
