Re: Introducing myself

Thanks for the reply Wez. Wez Furlong wrote:

You already have full PHP dev karma (username danda). Normally I'd say go right ahead and commit/upload, except that I know that Rasmus and others don't really like C based templating extensions, so I'm going to wait to see what the general consensus is on the inclusion of yats. --Wez. Perhaps I've misunderstood something. I was thinking I am just going to list yats in PECL so that people browsing the directory are aware it exists. I am not proposing to add it into the PHP distribution or anything like that.

Also, I could be wrong but I believe the main objections of Rasmus et al towards templatng extensions are because they do not want to see another language embedded within PHP. Yats is designed to avoid that and contains no explicit control over looping, branching, etc, nor does it allow one to exec PHP code within it. Anyway, what is XSLT if not a C based templating extension? regards Dan
