  • Template Class / Viewer

    Picture of Ralf Mike Pretzlaw
    Author: Ralf Mike Pretzlaw
    Date: 2009-02-14 (4 days ago)
    Groups: Templates
    Description: Template-Class

    With this class you can seperate the PHP-source from the design of your page. Just include this script and you are able to make objects, that contain the design of your page with some placeholder like: {placeholder}

    To fill them just act as follows:
    // Create the new Object
    $tpl = new Template("the_template_file.html");
    // Give the placeholder it's value / content
    $tpl->placeholder = "Hello World!";

    Remark that you set the value without the initiating and concluding chars, that are set in the globals "TEMPLATE_OPEN" and "TEMPLATE_CLOSE".

    You can also fill the placeholder with another template:
    // Bind a template to the placeholder
    $tpl->placeholder = new Template("another_template.html");
    // Access to the new placeholders
    $tpl->placeholder->placeholer_of_the_other_template = "foo";

    You can repeat this as often / "deep" as you want.

    Since version 1.2.0 you can add PHP-Scripts as an placeholder for your template. It's output (after execution) will be set for the placeholders value:
    // Add placeholder "foo" to template
    $tpl->foo = new Template("script.php");

    This has been added just to enhance the possibilities of this class. To use PHP as a placeholder is not the sense of templates!

    ATTENTION : Do NOT use ob_* within the PHP script, which shall be included.
    All PHP scripts are standalone-scripts. So if you want to use a variable from the mainscript you'll have to make it global in the template-script:
    global $var_name;
