Hi,
Recently I have been using XSL and XML to develop a wide range of
websites and I find that the way the XSL seperates logic from
presentation extemely useful. My PHP code will do the business logic
and generate XML and the XSL acts as the representation (view) of the
outcome of that logic. Not writing PHP in HTML is a dream, I know I'm
still writing it in XML but actually its a lot easier.
I have a fairly basic understanding of MVC and I know it is normally
(exclusively?) an OOP pattern where one object would have a job of
creating the view for an other. I know there is more to it than this
but separating presentation and logic is really what I'm interested
in.
What are peoples experiences using MVC and what are the views on MVC
vs XSL, are the two mutually exclusive?
Sorry if I am a bit vague I just wanted to know what people thought in
general.
Thanks,
Linus
