XSLT is used to map one set of XML to another set of XML, thats what the transform is all about. ive only been working with it for a while so im not that good yet, but what i do is build up XML data in PHP; that XML maps to points in an xsl file. then i use the PHP XSLT functions <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php> to render XHTML by combining the XML data and the xsl file. the XHTML is what gets sent to the browser via echo. you can use tools in PHP like SimpleXML and DOM to build up an XML document. i can send you a sample if youd like. also, if you want to separate javascript from PHP and XHTML thats really a different issue. in order to do that you need to link in javascript externally via the <script> tag instead of using inline scripts. you may want to look at some frameworks like prototype <http://www.prototypejs.org/>, scriptaculous <http://script.aculo.us/> and jquery <http://jquery.com/>. but that is another universe altogether. -nathan On 7/7/07, Kelvin Park < kelvinpark86@gmail.com> wrote:

that

needs to be completely dynamic? (That's how ASP.NET sort of works I

think).

If this is possible, HTML CODE, PHP CODE, AND THE CSS CODE can be completely separate, increasing the clarity of all the source code.

        Yes.
        Take a look at Smarty. :-)

http://smarty.php.net

My second question is: Is it more efficient to always code OOP PHP then just simple

functions

here

and there?

        How big is your project?
        If you're talking about a personal visit counter, run away

OOP.

        If you're talking about a really big project (And yes, CMS

_is_ a

big project), go ahead and use OOP.

        OOP is better to mantain... :-)

        HTH
