Some methods can´t be improved, basically it´s the same :-). For that
reason my first PHP book was Core PHP Programming and FreeEnergy one of
the best programming schools I had visited. Congratulations and thank
you very much.
Behind that its only another way to check received data and if
necessaryr for building search engine friendly urls.
As you said in your previous email, some teams need separate code from
design. A lot of designers are not ready to work with PHP code, the
fact is that designers with a good skill in HTML are very hard to find.
That´s the main reason to separate design in templates, penalizes, but
improves development process and give us, the programmers, the
oportunity to teach something about working methods to the designers.
You said it, if can write good HTML, can handle print statements. But
in fact they don´t know HTML, not good or bad, really nothing. Yes they
know a lot about Flash, heavy Flasf of course, but nothing about
clean cross browser HTML coding.
Skin change it´s an easy task, also make different versions: browser
specific, WML, etc.
After test some tools for that purpose, Xtemplate was one of the fast
systems and above all very powerfull and easy for implementing nested
templates, making modular design.
In another way, the db abstraction class let us more flexibility and
probably, only probably, less work in the future to move us to other
database.
An off topic question, what happens with FreeAsocciation? Was a very
interesting project.
