[Xerte-dev] Re: Export Code

I'm unsure about PHP5. I know PHP4 is old as old, but as I said, the systems guys here only just moved to 5, and no doubt there are other places where 4 is installed. What was the reason to move up? Is there a PHP4 compliant solution?

One of the things with toolkits is about removing barriers. This potentially creates one, and I don't think it would be an easy ask to get PHP upgraded just to install toolkits in an institution. I don't have a feel for how many servers still run PHP4, so I'm unsure.

Shall we vote?

I don't know who should decide on php 4/5 and yes, at the moment I feel 
it is Julian's decision to make.

If PHP 5, I can give you the xwd builder code this week.

The only thing missing really is the user interface, i.e. the 
possibillity to choose a 'page' to be added/replaced into a given 
template. The rest is there.
