I'd like to get some feedback on what the list thinks is a good template engine other than smarty.

PEARs HTML_Template_IT... or mix it with other HTML_Template*

I'd also like to do some quick prototyping using a PHP framework does anyone have any recommendations for one that is easy to pick up and run with?

The only important one I know of is Horde (http://www.horde.org).

Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for a good PHP database abstraction library?

For PHP 5 I've heard wonderfull things about PDO, but the documentation sucks. I personally am working with PEAR::DB which has been merged with MDB to make MDB2 (this would be a good start point). -- 21:50:04 up 2 days, 9:07, 0 users, load average: 0.92, 0.37, 0.18 ---------------------------------------------------------
