Wow. That looks pretty extensive. I'll dig into it. Thanks.
Truly a fantastic platform/framework, originally conceived as a
CMS, as a fork from PostNuke about 4 years ago, just reached 1.0
release a couple months ago. I'm on their irc channels daily and
would love to find xaraya compatriots in New Hampshire. I'd even be
willing to present at a LUG meeting (preferably DLSLUG).
Be careful what you wish for!

Re: PHP Templates and/or Web Frameworks
take a look at Xaraya (www.xaraya.com) :) Wow. That looks pretty extensive. I'll dig into it. It is a really slick framework -- the guys behind it are quite experienced and it has sort of an old school free software mentality to the project (he says wildly generalizing). FWIW, the lead Xaraya developers originally started the PostNuke project, which was the first PHP-Nuke fork. They had it well underway and made some dramatic improvements but in-fighting amongst the developers caused the-then PostNuke lead to throw in the towel and fork his own project -- which was renamed Xaraya. Definitely recommended as worthwhile to take a look at. Regards, .

I've used a number of template systems in both Perl and PHP and this is the best one I've found anywhere. Look for it at smarty.php.org Note that this is different from a framework, it simply provides a mechanism for templates. I've not yet found a good general purpose framework for use with many things. Instead I tend to build on a framework that's focused on the desired job at hand. So for example Mambo is a good framework for a content management based site. I've written my own framework and template system for PHP, but have not released it to Open Source yet. Indeed, I may never, though I may consider dong so in the future. It has a lot of nice features that makes doing HTML forms tied to databases fairly easy. -Fred ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
PHP Templates and/or Web Frameworks
Working on my third major PHP application, and it's time to stop re- inventing the wheel. I'd welcome some recommendations on tools, templates and/or frameworks. I've got a couple of simple PHP apps in production. Lotsa data, simple layout. These were ugly but workable apps, where the client was delighted with tables in black, border 1 with white backgrounds. Just the facts, ma'am. That much artistic talent I have. The next client is interested in a public-facing application, with lots of data and dynamically generated pages. Ideally, I'd like a templating engine or web framework where the business logic can be encapsulated separately from the interface, and the interface portions could be edited by a graphic designer with his or her choice of tools (Dreamweaver, GoLive, Mozilla, etc.). I've played around with PEAR's HTML_Template_ITX and they look okay. A peek at SourceForge tells me that everyone has written a framework, version Zero-Point-Four, fast approaching version one as one page put it. No surprise there. I'd welcome recommendations from those who have actually shipped an app based on a PHP framework or templating package they'd recommend (or warn me off!). Basic specs: XHTML 1.0, CSS, data entry/CRUD application with MySQL 4.1x as backend, managed hosted RHEL4 dedicated server environment.
