Just to be clear about the extend of this transaction safety (just to be sure - you might know that), it covers everything done in one request, so that even several "independent" actions (be it relational database, ZODB etc.) are rolled back if something goes wrong. This means it not only doesn't get nasty, it becomes really nice ;-). You can seperate your SQL statements into different ZSQL methods and so on. About the separation between content&layout, you are not obliged to use ZPT to get that (don't belive a certain Mr. Withers here ;)). You can also do that with dtml + python(-scripts). The point is that you can - in a natural way - design the application in zope that it's possible to change the layout later on without fear of breaking the functionality. Yes, that's also possible with php (or perl), but this seems as natural as doing OO-programming in C to me. cheers, oliver _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
