HOWTO USE SMARTEMPLATES
If your PHP application produces HTML output, so you're certainly
going to need SmarTemplates, SmarTemplates will allow you to
separate the programming part and the HTML-design part. That
means you can easily change the look at any time, make different
interfaces, styles and faces for your application without reprogramming.
To use SmarTemplates be sure to download the latest version,
extract the files into your application folder and include it
in your script:
include
"SmarTemplates.php";
Now define your variables the way you used to, and load the
template file by performing STTransFile explained in the example:
$A
= 10;
$B
= 'Test';
$template_file
= 'example.html';
print
$ST->STTransFile(
$template_file, compact('A',
'B') );
Your template file can be a normal HTML file, but you can use
the special ST-Tags to perfrom special output. Your example.html
file can be like this:
<HTML>
<BODY
BGCOLOR= '#FFFFFF'>
<P>Today is <ST-ECHO
FORMAT="l, d-m-Y">$current_time</ST-ECHO></P>
<P>B
is <$B></P>
<P>
<ST-IF EXPRESSION="$A=10">
A
has a 10 value
</ST-IF><ST-ELSE>
A doesn't equal 10
</ST-ELSE>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When you run your script, the output will be:
Today is Tuesday, 15-06-2004
B is test
A has a 10 value
