That you can also *easily* use native PHP to mock up the forms/pages/nav bar into an HTML file. I'm trying to tell you that Smarty isn't the _only_ way to do what you're proposing, as I thought just a few weeks ago. In fact, it's simple to use native PHP to do the same thing. If you need to see an example to understand this, take a look at my post with the three examples (PHP spaghetti code, Smarty template, PHP template): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=108145205519710&w=2 I thought Smarty was the ONLY way to separate business logic from presentation, but I was wrong. It's a great tool but it's not the be-all-end-all I thought it was. /dev/idal -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
