As a follow-up to my own message, another method I played with was using the
fileSystem Object to read the file to be included and spit it out on the
page, but I had concerns regarding the overhead in doing this.
Again, any thoughts appreciated.

Subject: RE: [OT] : php using fusebox
I've been writing some ASP in the fusebox style, however, it's a little
tough going:
ASP 3.0 adds a server method called server.execute, which is loosely
analogous to cfinclude, however, it has one MAJOR gotcha in that variables
declared and used in the script that calls the server.execute are not
visible to the script called by the execute method. Only variables in the
intrinsic scopes are available (this includes request, server, application,
session, etc.).
Of course you can use the good ole ssi methods (e.g. <!-- #include
file="foo.asp" -->), but the file name in that case can not be dynamic, as
the ssi stuff is parsed prior to the asp code being parsed. So if you know
the filename you want to include, it's ok, but there's even another
drawback - when you use the ssi includes, all of the code in the include
gets plopped on the page, regardless of whether the branch of code ever gets
executed (let's say in several case statements for example). Now I know the
code doesn't get executed unless the case is true, however, I would imagine
there is some overhead associated with parsing the code to begin with.
The bad news is that if you are using anything < 3.0, you have no choice but
to use the ssi stuff.
Anyone have more thoughts on this?
PS - If anyone has some sample PHP code, I'd love to see it (the online
manuals don't offer anything more than context-specific snippets).
Thanks

Subject: Re: [OT] : php using fusebox
We're doing a little research at my office on this subject also, but
won't dive too deep for a few weeks. If anyone has experience in PHP or
knows someone that does (even if they're non-CFers) have them give me a
call. I REALLY want to see a PHP version of Fusebox.... and ASP for
that matter.
