Perhaps you should just use cold fusion then, if you're that hot and heavy into tag-based languages. tagservlet.com has a Java/CF hybrid which may hold some interest. PHP's strength, IMO, is that it's NOT a tag-based language. You can create any functions you want and call them already from a combination Separating code/content is a much stronger idea, with just variable replacements in the 'template'. In the examples below, how do you gracefully handle errors? You don't - not without addding more code to the file. Or look more into XML/XSLT stuff. nicolas costes wrote: >maybe one day, PHP will implement user defined tags >this could be an idea, if this is prooved to be useful. > > > >(°-Nayco, >//\[EMAIL PROTECTED] >v_/_ http://nayco.free.fr > >ORIGINAL MESSAGE-> > >Yep this is not bad! > >> >>Hello, .

maybe one day, PHP will implement user defined tags this could be an idea, if this is prooved to be useful.
