Simple Template Engine – your lightweight templating engine in PHP
By admin | February 2, 2009
The Simple Template Engine is a very lightweight template engine to use in PHP if your webhost does not allow you to run something like Smarty. It is simple, lightweight and fast.
To parse a file:
<?php
// include simple template engine
include("tpl.class.php");
$tpl = new template();
$tpl->assign(Array('content'=>"Hello World from Simple Template Engine!"));
// If you want to display it directly
$tpl->display('example.tpl');
// If you want to send it to another function/class for more processing
some_function($tpl->parse('example.tpl'));
?>
example.tpl is:
<html><head><title>{content}</title></head><body><h1>{content}</h1></body></html>

@andrew:
Where you would use:
You would use:
(template code)
Test is %number%
(php code)
assign(Array(‘number’=>strval($s)));
$tpl->display(‘template.tpl’);
?>
