Template class

(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 http://wolfram.kriesing.de/programming/ PS: BTW what was the decision on a multiple classes in PEAR which do the same thing? -- Wolfram
