I think http://www.meta-language.net/ might be something similar. Chris Hubbard wrote:

No, not random character generation. Currently the application I'm working does the following: 1. from an array that defines HTML components (like a table row, input field, file upload, etc), and, 2. from an array that defines PHP components (like sql queries, file upload, assigning values to variables, etc), and, 3. a library of HTML components (like the HTML to display; a table row, a search box, a text area, etc), 4. take all three of the above and do a (fairly) complex suite of str_replaces and then file writes, output .php and .tpl files, resulting in a (hopefully) functional application. Primary advantage: as the application developer (as distinct from the code generation developer), you only have to build arrays. The arrays can be built from HTML forms, or XML, or ...? Secondary advantage: if you need to build multiple instances of the application with minor changes, it's trivial to build and maintain. Tertiary advantage: you have a common "framework" (though not technically a framework) for all deployed applications. It's relatively easy to "upgrade" the applications, or swap out sections of the code with improved code. chris -----Original Message----- From: Scott Fletcher [mailto:scott@abcoa.com] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 9:30 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP code generation What are the example of code generation project?

I'm working on a code generation project. Is there anyone on the list who has experience building these things, and, would like to discuss architecture/patterns/structure of code generation off-list?
