having many templates in the same file?

[arnorg]

I´ve struggling to get this done.

What template could i use for this kind og template file:

birtdays.tmpl

<!-- BEGIN: birthdays -->
<font face=verdana size=1>
&nbsp;&#183; <a href="?action=birthdays&id={id}">{title}</a><br>
</font>
<!-- END: birthdays-->

<!-- BEGIN: closerview -->
<br>
<font face="Arial Black" size="4">{title}</font><br>
<font face="verdana" size="1">{time}</font><br>
<p align="justify"><font face="verdana" size="1">{text}</font></p>
<div align="right">
<!-- END: closerview-->

when i use fast template on this i can only parse the hole file and i want to define weither i want to use closerview template or birthday template but their have to be in the same file! and i´ve seen this done on the internet.

It´s parses both {title} in both closerview and birthdays.

so the question is wich kind of function can i use to define witch i will use to parse or you know what template engine uses this method.

Thanks in advanced!

function doTemplate($template, $body, $title='',$timestr='') {
$mytemplate = file('templatefile.txt');
$mytemplate = substr($mytemplate,strpos($mytemplate, '<!-- BEGIN: '.$template.' -->'), strpos($mytemplate, '<!-- END: '.$template.' -->' ) - strpos($mytemplate, '<!-- BEGIN: '.$template.' -->') )  ;

$mytemplate = str_replace($template,'{title}', $title);
$mytemplate = str_replace($template,'{text}', $body);
$mytemplate = str_replace($template,'{time}', $timestr);
}

Also, replace those <br> with <br/>. There will be no sloppy decks on my ship.
