The feature I am requesting would only be part of the parser, and only needed to be run once. basically I am looking for the *possibility* of extending backtrics... so that it would do the following to config vars var1 = "hello $myvar, welcome" with (in compiled templates) var1 = "hello ". $this->_tpl_vars['myvar'] .", welcome" I of cause realize your concern goes beyond my little request here, and I share it very much... Like I don't need ANYTHING that relates to using objects, resources or cache... but it's still in smarty, and if you removed it, you would likely end up with a higher performance... yet I don't complain... :) I need this extension I referred to earlier, and I think that in the long run, you will need it too... besides, my example CAN'T possibly take up that much performance... It's a matter of extending a regexp with a few chars... I think... -- Tom Sommer, Denmark www.tsn.dk - www.dreamcoder.dk
