That's an interesting string of buzzwords, but it carries no meaning for me. Would you care to elucidate further? As far as the code I am working with, I inherited over 160 files of mixed HTML and PHP, where the logic and presentation are intermingled (mangled) throughout. My initial toolset was TextPad4, WinSCP and Putty on a WinXP workstation, with Apache on RHEL 5 as the server. (The original coder used vi on a clone of the server until they took it away from him.) The chances of re-implementing the entire project are roughly equivalent to a zero with the edges rubbed out. I already have a six month to-do list just adding the new features already requested by current clients.
