Question Looking to convert - replacing Interakt style page incluudes..

Hi there

I am looking to convert a code base of several sites and applications to ZF from source code generated using the Dreamweaver ADDT (mnainly Interakt extensions).

Whilst the actual coding isnt an issue I am just looking for a smidgin of advice on best practice to replace the 'dynamic page includes' that we utilise right now - which works really well.

For those not familiar with this: We define an includes table in a db and a set parameter then calls to the db and extracts the correct file to place in a div/area on the page as an include.

We also use the same table to extract page content - which is edited by users online (text and images etc).

I would like to get near this functionality using ZF but am not afraid to change as long as I can get my head around the methodology used to achieve this kind of thing in ZF.

After some research I am guessing (and its a guess!) that my current scenario is a bit 'front end controller' ish ?

My urls look a bit like domain.com/index.php?page=products&cat=4]

(page being the included 'view' page - which includes all the code too (booh) and then cat being a param for that page)

I am pretty sure that this is bog standard stuff, its just the table based include data which I am not certain can be done.

Any help appreciated.

Oo
