PHP objects

This can indeed an issue if you work in teams and/or with designers.

Ideally you would use a presenter for this, which is an abstraction layer between the controller and the view. Jamie's blog might give you some pointers.

Alternatively, you can use a template engine (like Smarty, Twig, ...) which can also protect you from these changes, as they don't allow PHP to be used in the templates.
