texte = Hi all,Ok, the 30% more code for PHP sounds a bit much to me, but then I'm not really a WebDNA expert, so I want your help.Below is code I wrote when I was first learning WebDNA, and have not gone back to make it any better. At the time, I was coming to WebDNA from PHP and Java, so WebDNA was a bit of a shock. The WebDNA code is 28 lines (without the extra lines), the PHP code is 12 lines (16 if you code with {} on their own lines). Of course, I've removed comments. Admittedly, WebDNA allows you to put multiple commands on one line, but in terms of readability and maintainability, I'll *never* do that unless the output calls for it.If you care to fix my WebDNA code for me and make it 12 lines or less, please do. I bet there's a WebDNA coder out there that can do it in 3 or less! :-)Oh, what's the code trying to do? An include file is named in the url using the param page=. This code 1) checks to see if page= is even in the url 2) checks to see if page exists on the file system 3) includes page if it exists, and includes another file if it doesn't.Thanks and with much respect for WebDNA and the WebDNA developer community.-lucasWebDNA:[formvariables name=[url]page[/url]][if "[url][value][/url]"!""] [then][FileInfo file=includes/[page].inc] [If "[Exists]"="T"][Then][include file=includes/[page].inc][/Then][Else][include file=includes/info_home.inc][/Else][/If][/FileInfo][/then][/if][/formvariables][formvariables name=[url]page[/url]] [if "[url][value][/url]"=""] [then][include file=includes/info_home.inc][/then][/if][/formvariables][Showif ![page]][hideif [page]![Raw][page][/Raw]][include file=includes/info_home.inc][/hideif][/Showif]PHP:if (isset($_REQUEST['page'])) {$success = @include("includes/$_REQUEST['page'].inc");if (!$success) {include("includes/info_home.inc");}else {include("includes/$_REQUEST['page'].inc");}}else {include("includes/info_home.inc");}On Friday, November 21, 2003, at 12:06 PM, Andrew Simpson wrote:> In terms of the way it is coded, i tried my best to duplicate the > webcat logic.
