Re: [PHP Template] DTML?

I agree.  It seems like all of this other stuff is redundant to what PHP
already does.  Just thinking from my perspective, it would be nice to be
able to let our designer build a web page and just include a few simple tags
that brings in all the back-end development our developers have done.

If I've missed something here please feel free to clue me in. :)
