For templating I'ved used Smarty a good bit ( about 4 years ago ) and the separation between code and html was great and you can do allot to customize smarty. However everyone now and then some real annoying bugs would pop up.
I've only done LDAP stuff in C# but if the php library is anything similar then shouldn't be too difficult to write your wrapper to provide the functionality you need ( binding to the directory, searching for objects, get/setting properties on objects, etc. ) For audit logging if you are talking about keeping a history of changes one approach it to create audit tables which mirror the schema of the tables you want to audit and use a trigger to copy the data into the audit tables before modifying the data. For general logging I've always written my own basic loggers to accomplish tracing, debugging output, application event logging ( errors, warning, information ). If I may ask, out of curiosity, what are the reasons for going with PHP ? --Lance On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 6:17 PM, Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey guys- We are looking at building a tool in PHP and we need some > suggestions for the following modules/classes: > > Logging.
