One thing that bugs me is that template stuff's put in HTML/ - templates are nothing to do with HTML, they're (supposedly) output format independent, so I would suggest the creation of a new Template/ hierachy. I also have a nice template class using isotemplates (one file with nested blocks defined within it), with variable modifiers - [[TimeStamp|gmtime(time format)]], for example, or [[|call:Class::method()]]), and probably future support for simple [[|if(expression)]]. It's very fast (no silly preg_replace()/str_replace() loops), and I intend to write a compiled version to help it scale further. Usage is very similar to IT.php, ala: $t = new SimpleTemplate('file'); $t->setBlock('/path/to/block'); $t->setVar(..); // supports (key,value), array(..) and objects $t->addBlock(); It's not written with PEAR in mind, so the src style probably clashes. In fact, I have some exceptions to it, which I might mention later.. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freak@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/
