Re: [PHP] Another Template Engine (code)
You may want to take a look at Dreamtime's template engine. I've had pretty
good feedback on it so far.
The template language supports things like loops, if-then, pre-compiling
templates, etc., which makes assembling complex pages pretty easy. We
replaced a whole heap of Cold Fusion code with a few Dreamtime templates and
a little PHP code during a big conversion job (CF -> PHP) late last year.
For example, if you've got a few arrays of values and want to output an HTML
table, your PHP code looks like:
$names = array("Tim", "Alice", "Dilbert");
$ages = array(34, 36, 37);
$t = new DTTemplate("table.html");
$t->set("names", $names);
$t->set("ages", $ages);
$t->send();
and your template (table.html) could look like:
{:each:names}
{names}{ages+}
{:end}
The layer above this, the Page Manager, supports the lists of variable
hashes you talked about, so that you can give it a big associative array
instead of doing a series of set() calls for each variable.

Re: [PHP] Another Template Engine (code)
That is awesome, I never got
into hash tables, seeing as how the extent of my perl is validating and emailing
forms. I am currently porting the template engine to a class, so I can
overload alot of the options, like check if it is an array being sent to
__registerWatch and act accordingly. You have given me a few ideas, and I
think I might extend my engine a bit [no hash tables :P]

BTW: with the $uid system they never collide, just
like file handles never collide :) I thought about using a unique id system
based off of random numbers, but after a very long IRC argument i just used the
empty brackets to add a new member.

i
wrote a simple classified and hash-enabled
template engine
as a
sort-of proof of concept placeholders in the template
are
denoted by %{name}% and they're filled with data by
the
"regvar()" func. $temp->regvar('name', 'value');
1)
class the engine so that you cay have multiple
instances of different templates and not worry
about
them
colliding or corrupting each other.
example:
$temp1 = new template("filename")
$temp1->regvar('THIS', 'Some text');
$temp1->tprint();
2)
put support for hashes of values so you dont
have
to call regvar() for each and every var, you
can
simply submit a hash to the template and it'll
traverse through it
example:
$assoc_array('name'=>'scott',
'age'=>'99');
$temp1->hash($assoc_array);
will properly replace %{name}% and
%{age}%
with "scott" and "99"
Attached
files to this email are:
template.php - the template
class
test.template.php - the calling php
script
test.template.html - a test
template
put them all in the same dir and call
'test.template.php'
to see the test script.

[PHP] Template Engine
Since so many of you are asking for help w/ a
template engine of some sort I have included the one I use for my mail
program. I have not tested it with large amounts of text, but it is
able to handle some very large strings. It has its own documentation,
and if anyone needs any help setting it up I'd be willing to
help.
