I am using the following code semi-successfully and it seems to parse the blocks in the correct order: [code] $template_dir = "/your/template/directory"; $template_file = "your_template.html"; $var_array = array("TITLE"=>"This is the title", "CONTENT"=>"This is the content"); $tpl = new IntegratedTemplate($template_dir); $tpl->loadTemplatefile($template_file); $tpl->setVariable($var_array); $tpl->show(); [/code] The only time I have a problem with it is if you send in $var_array with all values set to NULL. When you call the loadTemplatefile() or setTemplate() function the init() function is called which pre-parses the template and sets up the block heirarchy (findBlocks()). Then when you call get() or show()...parse() is called which uses this info to parse each block. That's the main thing I wanted to bring to your attention since it makes the basic use of the IT class very easy.
