OOHForms like FastTemplates origine from Perl wizards and if you tried Perl
you know why you should like PHP ;P and more important why management likes
PHP. One reason is that others can understand, so maintain, your code :).

If you want to use OOHForms (or FastTemplates) I think you should understand
it. This will take some deeper thinking and some time for most.

A lot better - I think - is use Ulf his stuff. His Templates are 'more
logical' in usage for most (not Perl programmers), so also easier to
maintain.

I guess his form stuff will be the same, so why no try that first?

Greetings
Jeroen.
