Patterns are typically on-the-fly design decisions. However the MVC, IMHO, is the one outlier. It *is* a pattern that could be code generically for use in any PHP application. This notion is supported in part by the very fact that the MVC has been implemented in Struts. I don't think anyone can appreciate what I just said without becoming familiar with the MVC pattern first so I'd encourage you peruse the code and the sample application that uses it. -- Tony Bibbs "I guess you have to remember that those who don't tony@tonybibbs.com hunt or fish often see those of us who do as harmlessly strange and sort of amusing.
