RE: "This is way off topic for a PHP user group. PHP is the back end logic, and you should leave the presentation code to people who get it right, and care. "
Im not sure I agree with that (although Im not the creator of this group so cant say authoritatively), but my reasoning is because, if you are a PHP coder, and you dont know anything about aesthetics, user perspective, GUI intuitiveness or HTML then my opinion is you might not produce the best PHP, because afterall... PHP is just the rederer of the browser code. The reason I have my view is because most sites developed by php developers usually end up very complicated and ugly. Thats becasue (on the most part) they dont know how to keep things simple for "Joe Bloggs", or they dont care about what "looks good". Thats why Im not sure I agree with that. I would prefer to work with a PHP developer who has a better overview of the other aspects of functionality. Otherwise, you end up with developers who then tries to dictate back to the end user how things should work. The end user doesnt care, they just want a simple obvious fat button with step 1,2,3 (most times). So, a PHP developer who understands the user, will end up producing the best architecture, code etc...
