PHP: MVC Demo
A framework I've come up for relatively fast, structured deploys of small dynamic websites or page suites. It can be used freely, but is intended more as a model or inspiration for others:

<?php

// start page time
$tx1 = microtime();

/* FILE INFO

MVC Demo

File: index.php
Last Update: Dec 2005
Author: Tom Atwell (klenwell@gmail.com)

NOTES:

This model makes use of a couple other files and function I've created:

FILE: build_navbar.inc.php
FX: rollover_menubar()

WARNING : without content files (meant to hold html) in a content directory on the
same directory level as this page, page will generate a warning.

P.S. Why the hell is Blogger requiring me to input the word verification? That is, how is this site being confused with a splog site?
