what is the whole point of it again ?

The point of code generation is to reduce significantly the amount of time it takes to develop code that tends to be repetitive and so it is tedious to write manually. Metastorage generates classes to implement a data access API . The data model is defined at an high level using a XML based format named CPML (Component Persistence Markup Language). Metastorage FAQ explains in more detail what is the point of it: http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage-faq.html#advantages

and how do they do this ?? http://www.meta-language.net/screenshots.html

Actually these are browser screenshots of HTML forms generated by the classes produced with Metastorage. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:mlemos@acm.org] > Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 12:48 PM > To: Chris Hubbard > Cc: Php-General@Lists.
