Re: [PHP Template] Opinion on PHP Template Engine spec revision 0.52

I don't have the intention of criticizing the current development, or Andrei who is working hard on the template engine, but I basically agree with jm. > Nothing in the current template engine prevents you from using > variable/loop combination. Nothing forces you to go beyond that. I > simply don't understand why you people object to _optional_ features > that may come in handy some day. Extra features are nice, but a working engine with basic features NOW would be a bonus for all of us who work daily developing sites with php. Extra features could be added in subsequent releases, over time. > Or maybe you should use FastTemplate. FastTemplate is (in my opinion) a quick hack. And it is broken with php4, ie the dynamic templates stuff is broken (only works in php3). And it has no caching, etc. Much better the template module from phplib, but again no caching (and I haven't tried it with php4, I'm just switching my current development to it). Keep up the good work, Andrei L. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Ludovico Magnocavallo MCP Sumatra Solutions / CTI and Internet Development via V.
