Fast Template question

xentrix

Hi folks,
I´ve started to learm hot to use Fast Templates and I have a question...

I have a template called toplevel.tpl:

<!-- template toplevel.tpl//-->
<html>
<head>
<title>{TITLE}</title>
</head>
<body>
{CONTENT}
</body>
</html>

and I also have an index file (index.php):

<?
include "classFastTemplate.php";

$tpl = new FastTemplate(".");
$tpl -> define (array ("toplevel" => "toplevel.tpl"));
$tpl -> assign (array ("TITLE" => "My first page", "CONTENT" => "Hello PHPBuilder"));
$tpl -> parse ("MAIN", "toplevel");
$tpl ->FastPrint();
?>

And the result is that the page has its title "{My first page}" and on the screen is "{Hello PHPBuilder}".
Why are the characters "{" and "}" on the screen? Do I have something switch or where do I make mistake? Could you help me, please?

Oh, I've got it...

In the template file I had to have not {TITLE} and {CONTENT} but only TITLE and CONTENT... ;-)

I'm seeing the same thing...and while simply not using the braces works, it's not as obvious in the code and I'd like to know what to change. A workaround for this is to call your variables "{NAME}", but that again is just a kludge. Unfortunately, my php skills are such that I'd probably beat my head alot trying to figure out where and what to change in the FastTemplate file.
