Description:
------------
The page on pear.php.net lists DB_DataObject as having dependencies of
PHP4.1 however uses the function is_a() which was introduced in PHP4.2.
This affects older versions too, verified back to DB_DataObject version
1.3.

As a fix, the function shown at http://php.net/is_a may be used for
installations with previous versions of PHP. This was tested on PHP4.1.2
and allows the use of newer DB_DataObject versions that use is_a().
