RE: [PHP Template] Revised proposal

Well, an IF statement might be a bad example. I was actually more interested in just variables. So if {{sitename}} was encountered w/o an alt it could be removed, commented, error reported, or auto-assigned, as per .ini setting. As I said, though, it was just a crazy idea. This is essientially an even lazier/sloppier version of the batch_assign idea tossed around earlier, but would be done automatically as a last-case fallback if so set in the .ini.

I'll add those to the proposal, Dan. But I think what the other guy meant was that if you see variable in an 'if' statement and it has no value, then it would be auto-assigned. -Andrei * Change is the only constant. *
