You can use it to generate a stream of html documents, images, sound files, text files, etc etc etc. So why shouldn't you use it to make your own dialogs in it as well? Make an include file that contains the classes, then just declare your class and use it. Like $mydialog=new clsDialog; $mydialog->type=DIALOGTYPE_INPUTBOX; $mydialog->title="Provide some information"; $mydialog->regexp="$xxx^"; $result=$mydialog->showDialog(); unset($mydialog); Off course the limitations are second to none! I have released some PHP CLI scripts under the terms of GPL2 and they all use the same basic simple engine for argument processing. It may not suit your needs, but you're welcome to study it to get you started.
