PHP Templating engine by Timothy Boronczyk

Hi Timothy

first off, great little tut, I like it and reckon it will be very usefull. I have been looking for an effective way to separate my code from my content for ages now, and there seems to be no one set way of doing that!

I have a scenarion that I wonder if you could help me with.

I essentially have a page (results.tpl) that is a table, with two columns and two rows. The first row is headings (id, name) and the second row is a tag/macro to be replaced with the results of a database call (returning id, name funnily enuff!)

<table>
<tr>
<td>id</td>
<td>name</td>
</tr>
<td>
{rs}
</table>

Now, obviously the {rs} - recordset is a loop that runs through a series of mysql_fetch_assoc calls to get the data ... that data itself should be "templatable" i.e., I want a template for the results page that I can initiate from your template engine.

Can you point me the right direction on this? I know you said that the engine supports nesting templates, how is this done, because I imagine nesting is the solution to what I am trying to do here ...

Any help would be appreciated !

Tnx in advance.

RE: PHP Templating engine by Timothy Boronczyk

This is how I've done it...

results.php

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php include "lib/class.Page.php"; $p = new Page("results.tpl"); $p->replace_tags(array( "RS" => "table-rows.php")); $p->output(); ?>

<?php
    include "lib/class.Page.php";
    $p = new Page("results.tpl");
    $p->replace_tags(array(
        "RS" => "table-rows.php"));
    $p->output();
?>

results.tpl

Code:

<table>
    <tr><td>id</td><td>name</td></tr>
    {RS}
  </table>

table-rows.php

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password"); mysql_select_db("my_db"); $result = mysql_query("select id, names from my_table"); while (list($id, $name) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) echo "<tr><td>$id</td> <td>$name</td></tr>"; ?>

<?php
    $db = mysql_connect("localhost",
          "user", "password");
    mysql_select_db("my_db");
    $result = mysql_query("select
          id, names from my_table");
    while (list($id, $name) 
          = mysql_fetch_row($result))
        echo "<tr><td>$id</td>
              <td>$name</td></tr>";
?>

Best of luck,

-Tim
