I don’t know how or I don’t use a framework. Those are both often heard excuses when I ask someone why he doesn’t separate the logic and view of his application. Even when you Read the rest of this entry »

Alternative, lazy what?
Consider the next example:
-
span class=”st0″>'<li>’‘<a href="/news/’.$oItem->id.‘-‘.$oItem->rewrite.‘.html">’.$oItem->title.‘</a>’‘</li>’
