this is a good starting place http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php
although it doesnt cover the class stuff that well (which can be done : ming, domxml, gtk, xmms - to name a few that do it ) - for a nice example have a look at the xmms extension http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pear/PECL/xmms This illustrates class and functional creation, as a side suggestion it may be worth calling your class HTML_Template_XXXXXX as this would fit in better with the PEAR naming of classes.. regards alan Joao Prado Maia wrote: >Hi, > >Before starting up on this email, please be aware that I'm a newbie in C >programming and especially in PHP extension coding.
