TriLogic Sandbox

Well I finally got around to it.  In an attempt to learn a little more about the bizarre world of PHP programming I converted an existing project based in Classic ASP to PHP.  As you can guess by the title of my post the result of my recent efforts is the conversion of the KudzuASP Template Engine to KudzuPHP.  As it turns out the conversion wasn’t so very difficult and the resulting PHP code is probably more powerful than the original ASP from which it came.

I tried to be clear and concise in providing a well architected and open code framework but I’ll offer my apologies for any shortcomings in advance.  I never thought I’d be a PHP programmer and I’m really not claiming to be one now.

So what’s the deal and why bother with another template engine for any web language much less PHP for which there seem to be dozens already?  I have no answer to offer other than “just because”.   Perhaps I’m just avoiding the need to step outside my comfort zone by sticking with what I already know or it might be that I like the design of the original ASP code that makes the hosting page an event driven resource of the template. It could be that now I’m working with Wordpress more than Classic ASP or .NET that it might come in handy.  Who knows?

If you’re interested browse over to the new sub-domain KudzuPHP.TriLogicLLC.com and check out the examples.  If you interested in getting your hands on the 600 or so lines of code before I finish cleaning up the examples then drop me a line and L’ll email it to you.  The download will be eventually be offered here at the sandbox if you’re the patient type.
