Another tack to take is to use PHP's streams support. We did this in ZF's Zend_View at one point to emulate short tags when they're disabled. Basically, it allows you to pre-process the template file as it's being included. The downside is, of course, performance. However, you could very easily add a caching layer to this as well to cache the modified code so that subsequent calls do not have to do the pre-processing. Basically, I think this is something that can be accomplished in userland. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
