[PHP] Re: More thoughts about PHP: Taglibs
Yep this is not bad! html Hello, showusername/. Your last login was showlastlogin/.p /html and now using PHP's short tags, you can make it even prettier: html Hello, ?=showusername()?. Your last login was ?=showlastlogin()?.p /html Right? Dr. Evil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... It seems to me that one of the problems with PHP is that you have to include code in your HTML pages. Even with the cleanest design, you end up with HTML that looks like this: html Hello, ?php showusername(); ?. Your last login was ?php showlastlogin(); ?.p /html This is ok, but it seems to me that java taglibs provide a more elegant way to do the same things: html Hello, showusername/. Your last login was showlastlogin/.p /html This lets the backend stuff be completely separated from the html design part of things. What do people think of this? I'm just now learning JSP so I'm thinking about the differences between PHP and JSP. In general, both are powerful ways of creating dynamic websites, but they have different characteristics and are better for different things.

maybe one day, PHP will implement user defined tags this could be an idea, if this is prooved to be useful.

Re: [PHP] Re: More thoughts about PHP: Taglibs
Perhaps you should just use cold fusion then, if you're that hot and heavy into tag-based languages. tagservlet.com has a Java/CF hybrid which may hold some interest. PHP's strength, IMO, is that it's NOT a tag-based language. You can create any functions you want and call them already from a ? ? combination ?=myFunction($params);? Separating code/content is a much stronger idea, with just variable replacements in the 'template'. In the examples below, how do you gracefully handle errors? You don't - not without addding more code to the file. Or look more into XML/XSLT stuff. nicolas costes wrote: maybe one day, PHP will implement user defined tags this could be an idea, if this is prooved to be useful.
