[ciapug] Templating System

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

I was thinking about what Tim said the other day regarding "templating
systems".  I think the main point was: how is inserting a <? echo
$content ?> tag into an html document  really any differant than if you
just inserted some if/then logic etc. 

I agree with Tim, its more or less the same thing. For me, the problem
that I was trying to solve two-fold:

1. Seperate the dynamically generated content from the static content,
so that an end user (or graphic designer) could edit the html without
mucking around in the php code.
2. Make it user to make changes to the CSS include files, thereby making
it simple to effect system wide cosmetic changes in the both the html
and the dynamically generated content.

Tim did you have something else in mind?

:) Dave
