It seems to me that one of the problems with PHP is that you have to include code in your HTML pages. Even with the cleanest design, you end up with HTML that looks like this: <html> Hello, <?php showusername(); ?>. Your last login was <?php showlastlogin(); ?>.<p> </html> This is ok, but it seems to me that java taglibs provide a more elegant way to do the same things: <html> Hello, <showusername/>. Your last login was <showlastlogin/>.<p> </html> This lets the backend stuff be completely separated from the html design part of things. What do people think of this? I'm just now learning JSP so I'm thinking about the differences between PHP and JSP. In general, both are powerful ways of creating dynamic websites, but they have different characteristics and are better for different things. I'm learning java but I will continue to use both, depending on the task. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
