Hi,

For the futurists around here: Is there any chance that php will 
include "database tags" ala Lasso? For those who don't know what I 
mean, here's an axample (not quite correct Lasso code, but it should 
get the point across):

[db select="somedb"]
[db query="sql"]

<table>

        [record]
        <tr>
        <!-- everything in this tag is repeated for each record
                <td>
                        [field="name"]
                </td>
                <td>
                        [field="address"]
                </td>
        </tr>
        [/record]
</table>


Err... You get the point... Or, for those of you who have problems 
recognizing simple stuff when you see it (like myself when trying to 
learn applescript when I was used to stuff like C), the point is that 
you don't have to do all that annoying escaping of quotes, and if you 
open the code in a graphical editor, you can edit to your heart's 
delight, cuz the db tags stays put.
