PEAR IT - problems with

benforsyth

Hi - I am using PEAR IT and it all seems pretty straight forward. However, i am trying to assign a place holder dynamically by using the  statement, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Basically I am grabbing a page name from $HTTP_GET_VARS[] and then trying to set it to a variable, then in the tpl file trying to dynamically include the page requested (basically the same as an include statement)

$template = new HTML_Template_IT('.');
$template->loadTemplatefile("content.tpl", true, true);


/* Check to see which page has been requested and if the file exists. If not, include error message */

if(!empty($http_GET_VARS[page])&& file_exists("content/$http_GET_VARS[page].tpl")) 
   {
      $page="content/$http_GET_VARS[page].tpl";
   } 
   else
   {
      $page="content/error.tpl"; 
   } 

$template->setCurrentBlock("CONTENT");
$template->setVariable("PAGE", $page);
$template->parseCurrentBlock();
$template->show();

Then in the template (.tpl) file, I assign the 'PAGE" variable to a placeholder like this:

<!-- INCLUDE {PAGE} -->

This doesn't seem to work - however if I hard code the path to the file in the indclude statement (Ie:  it works no problem?

I have also tried assigning the variable to the include string
$template->setVariable("PAGE", ""); with no luck.

If anyone has any idea on why this doesn't work - I'd love to hear about or any other way of achieving this.

Cheers
