RE: [PEAR] Real world usage of IT [template] class?

If you use ITX (which extends IT), you have access to a method addBlockFile(), which does what you need. api docs are here: http://www.ulf-wendel.de/docs/itx/index2.html btw, I use IT(X) for all of my client's projects (albeit a modified version). It's my fav template solution, in spite of all the crap it gets from people on this list. Use the tool that's right for the job, eh?
