Isn't there a rule about bringing dead threads back to life?

Perhaps with the return of this movie genre it is time for undead threads

Suggested definition of the technical term "undead thread": A thread that has a gap of more than 6 months with no postings and no substantial on-topic discussion after the gap.

Isn't that a reason to START with databases?? To eliminate the quick solution of creating a NEW table each time you need to implement something new?


For instance.. for a content driven website with all the standard stuff (articles, polls, comments, etc...) You can standardize the content of each of these types of 'publications' with the following scheme..

Very interesting post. In fact to smooth that process, some DBMS like PostgreSQL support "table inheritance". See the Inheritance section of the PostgreSQL 7.4.13 Documentation. If your favourite DBMS doesn't support that powerful feature, say MySQL or SQLite, the solution is to use Data Access Objects (DAO), as PHP classes can be inherited. In your case there would be a publication class and the article class would "extend" it, adding its own "fields" to it : id, bodycopy...

<?php 
/* AwesomeTemplateEngine.class.php */ 
class AwesomeTemplateEngine { 
    var $templatePath;
    var $vars;
    function AwesomeTemplateEngine($templatePath) { 
        $this->templatePath=$templatePath; 
    }
    function set($value, $name) {
        $this->vars[$name] = is_object($value) ? $value->fetch() : $value;
    }
    function parseTemplate($dataObject,$template) {
        extract($this->vars);
        ob_start(); 
        include($this->templatePath.$template); 
        $strParsedTemplate = ob_get_contents(); 
        ob_end_clean(); 
        return $strParsedTemplate; 
    } 
} 
?>

Thats more or less exactly what I've been using for months now. Works very well and you can set variables for use in the template.

Why try to bring life to the dead though? There isn't anything particularly interesting or innovative about your class, I'm sorry to say
