I complely agree. Actually, you have no alternative. You can't embed PHP
code into PHPLib templates (AFAIK).

>>Also don't you keep images in a separate directory.

Yes. But, that's not the problem. The problem is that all of your images are
relative to the PHP page and NOT the template. So if the template is stored
in a templates directory above the PHP file, it would have to relatively
reference the images directory like so (in order to be able to display
properly in a GUI):

../images/smile.gif

But if you do that, then when the PHP file loads the template, the image tag
will be pointing to the wrong place (an images directory one level beneath
the PHP file). If, on the other hand, you store the template with the
corresponding PHP file then relative paths will always be accurate.

A sincere advise - use sed to search replace in such cases

Also don't you keep images in a separate directory.

Well using GUI is not a sin - my designers thrive on DW

Two of my programmers use PHPed + DBG Debugger + winCVS but I prefer good
old joe and at times nexidion

It is a matter of choice.

However comming back to the point - try and keep code out of the templates
