Sure. I think there's two main approaches: 1/ use an explicitly language-neutral templating language such as ClearSilver. 2/ pick a new preferred reports language and use a templating system written in it (python: mako, genshi; perl: Template::Toolkit, HTML::Mason; php: itself) As for picking PHP as that language, I think it has some important marks in its 'Con' column. 1/ it appears to be a very large dependency (relative to perl or python) 2/ it's not already installed on system- or desktop- boxes (in the way perl or python have been for a while now). 3/ it sucks. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
