Thanks to both of you. In fact, I have suffered from those whitespace issues a few times and they are really a big pain. Thankfully, it was relatively easy to apply a *fix* for this problem during my import. That means if you want to you can have Creole automatically compressed and merged into a single file :) One other thing that actually came out only after I posted this article is that due to the fact that I change the directory structure, Creoles 'dot-notation' does not work any more. So right now the setup code to obtain a zen-cart database connection looks like this: Creole::registerDriver('mysql', 'MySQLConnection'); $dsn = array('phptype' => 'mysql', 'hostspec' => DB_SERVER, 'username' => DB_SERVER_USERNAME, 'password' => DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, 'database' => DB_DATABASE); $this->conn_ = Creole::getConnection($dsn); Hey, that makes sense!

Spurious whitespace after the closing tag can wind up becoming part of the page output, making it harder to do things like issue headers. It's a fairly common practice to leave them off in frameworks and in multi-developer projects where different editors are being used by different developers. Tracking down some file with whitespace after the closing tag is a lot harder than having PHP assume the close at EOF. The missing trailing PHP tags are by design.

The rest I have no idea about! :-) I'm in around PHP 202 and MySQL 101 right now, learning-wise. I'm reading Larry Ullman's PHP and MySQL For Websites, plus about 8 other programming books. I went nuts at Amazon and bought a shed load of programming books instead of paying a ton of money on tuition somewhere! :-) I am very impressed by what you have accomplished and I am determined that in the next couple of years I will be able to work similar wonders with code! :-) Keep up the great work!
