Did some PHP programming today. I've used libphp-jpgraph  [0]  to
generate  images,  containing a single stacked bar graph and some
text. I knew jpgraph from an older project, thus I  was  able  to
quickly get the prototype working.

To generate the web pages, I used the template system smarty  [1]
for the first time. Yes, I've worked without a template system in
PHP until today. I should have  given  one  a  try  earlier.   Of
course,  I could rework my old pages now to separate the PHP code
from the HTML stuff as I've  already  separated  CSS  from  HTML.
It's  unlikely  that I'll do that (soon). Rather I begin the next
website with templates right away.

The prototype that I work on uses  sqlite  as  database  backend.
It's  just  one table with few writes and not too many reads.  (I
was tempted to use a plain text file but fell for the convenience
of SQL.)
