Hi, For the futurists around here: Is there any chance that php will include "database tags" ala Lasso? For those who don't know what I mean, here's an axample (not quite correct Lasso code, but it should get the point across): [db select="somedb"] [db query="sql"] <table> [record] <tr> <!-- everything in this tag is repeated for each record <td> [field="name"] </td> <td> [field="address"] </td> </tr> [/record] </table> Err... You get the point... Or, for those of you who have problems recognizing simple stuff when you see it (like myself when trying to learn applescript when I was used to stuff like C), the point is that you don't have to do all that annoying escaping of quotes, and if you open the code in a graphical editor, you can edit to your heart's delight, cuz the db tags stays put.
