RE: [PEAR] Re: Ideal PHP framework [was: DataObject with ITX]

Hi There, Currently i have started some work using XML+XSLT technology to seperate my php code from HTML interface. It seems i got some points. 1. DB abstraction layer creates XML data in memory. 2. XSLT renders XML resides in memory and XSL template using PHP to create a HTML output. Correct me if i am wrong any where. From your reply i got a little bit about XML+XSLT but If you can explain to me the entire procedure more clearly then it would be nice. Waiting for reply.
