Re: Template class

I think I've seen something like this before... hang on, isn't it called PHP??? Could you explain what advantages you see in doing it this way, as I can't see any :-( Peter. At 11:00 PM 12/10/01 +0100, Wolfram Kriesing wrote:

(just in case any of the people on PEAR-DEV will read this at all, since everyone must be tired of the template class debates :-) ) i just wanted to say what i had to write, because i didnt see any of the existing template classes/engines provide me with that the main features are: # compiling template class which (almost) only replaces '{' by <?php and '}' by ?>, with pre and post filters # uses indention to create the '{' and '}' for php-code inside the template, so clean code is a requirement and no closing tags like: {/if} are needed # leaves all the power of php to you, not only the functionality the template engine implements # nothing to learn, just use '{' and '}' instead of the php-tags in your template and indent your code properly # the seperation of source and representation is all up to the programmer (either this is good or bad) # provides some default filter a possible template ----------------------------- {if(sizeof($disadvantages))}

    {foreach($disadvantages as $aDisadvantage)}
        <li>{$aDisadvantage}</li>

{else}

    no disadvantages registered yet :-)

----------------------------- the compiled code is nothing more than this ----------------------------- <?php if(sizeof($disadvantages)) { ?>

    <?php foreach($disadvantages as $aDisadvantage) { ?>
        <li><?=$aDisadvantage?></li>

<?php } } else { ?>

    no disadvantages registered yet :-)

<?php } ?> ----------------------------- so you can see - easy to use, nothing to learn and should be fast :-) feel free to have a look at
