Re: Re: [PHP] script preprocessor?

I do not need a cmd-line utility but something I can use _in_ a PHP4 script without the need to apply changes to the interpreter or weird system interfaces. Something similiar to the #define preprocessing instructions of cc (or hopefully more flexible) would suit my needs. If your programm can substitute script parts during a page request it'd be nice if you could pass me a source copy. Personally I've no idea how such a facility could be implemented if not being part of the PHP core. D. Alvarez Arribas <alvarez@st-oneline.net> >I've written one for my personal needs.
