I've been using Quanta (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/) for a while now. It's not too sophisticated, but it's effective. As far as actual PHP programming tips, over the course of several projects I've developed a sessions/authentication/permissions system that I now reuse in all my new work. This has been a huge timesaver. One of the key points to doing this is to make this library easily expandable, because the different applications all require changes. Also, there are some fairly complicated routines that I need to write for an app. At first, I'll write it the easiest way -- least possibility for (human) mistakes. Later, I go back and write it the fastest way, even though this requires a whole rewrite of that function/etc. This gets the app running in the least amount of time, yet I can still go back and make it faster later. I believe that speed really matters in web apps. Michael F. Robbins mike@gamerack.com Attachment:
