FastTemplates thing

[Anon]

ok.. im a newbie learning php.. i've read the introductory basic thing twice and code html and run www.hiphopgateway.com and by the end of the year im hoping to have that site template driven in php!

anyway.. im reading and learning from this article here:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/sascha19990316.php3

But i dont know what the heck the

include("class.FastTemplate.php3")

is and i dont knonw where to get it or what. What is this class stuff with php? the only classes i know of is with cascading style sheets. and since i see its trying to include a file tilted "class.FastTemplate.php3" then i have to have that file somewhere.. but the turoial article thing doesnt tell where to get it from.. it mentions here (i think??):

http://www.thewebmasters.net/php/

so i grabbed the whole top code and saved it as class.FastTemplate.php3 but now my page looks like this:

http://www.hiphopgateway.com/infostructure/reviews/templates/

SOMEONE ANYONE.. HELP?!? please!

im greatful for any responses on this! i dont know what the hecks goin on..

have you forgotten <? and ?> delimiters in the class ...?

however classes in php are not that similar to css but to "real" object oriented programming (as in java); there are some helpful articles in the article section.

in my opinion it's worth studying them; classes can be very useful, and with php it's really easy.
