templates, *sigh*

[phpn00bf4life]

Hey all, i'm having problems with templates, my site's not showing up at all. Visit www.betterphp.wghq.net to view this. Any ideas, i've done all the debugging methods i know, and there are no errors. Code below (1st template class, then the index.php).

templateClass.php:

<?php
/*
**
* Script Author:  Jonathon M. 
* Script Title:  _templateClass.php 
* Script Quick Bio:           

* Well this is for creating the 
* template system, later on we can 
* possibly get a better template ;)
*/

/*
**
* Quick Security Check
* Included on all _Pages...
*/
if( !defined( "IN_SITE" ) ) {
	//...hacking attempt
	die();
}

/*
**
* class siteTemplate
* Function siteTemplate - Set the template variable
* Function setParameter - Set the {x} stuff to equal this $x (In array)
* Function createPage - Translate, and create the page
*/
class siteTemplate {

var $__Template;
var $__Html;
var $__Parameters = array( );

function siteTemplate( $__Template ) {
	$this->$__Template = $__Template;
}

function setParameter ( $__Variable, $__Value ) {
	$this->__Parameters[$__Variable] = $__Value;
}

function createPage( ) {
	$this->__Html = implode( "",( file( $this->__Template ) ) );

	foreach( $this->__Parameters as $key => $value ) {
		$template_name = '{' . $key . '}';
		$this->html = str_replace( $template_name, $value, $this->__Html );
	}
	echo$this->html;
}
}

?>

index.php

<?php
/*

* Script Author:  Jonathon M. 
* Script Title:  _dbClass.php 
* Script Quick Bio:           

* This is the introductry 
* part of my site, plus some

/*

define("INSITE","TRUE");

/*
**
* Include in structure.php
*/
include("_required.php");
include($__reqFolder . "_structure.php");

/*
**
* Let's connect to the Data Base...
*/
$__Link = mysql_connect( $__reqHost, $__reqUser, $__reqPass );
mysql_select_db( $__reqDB, $__Link );
/*
**
* content function - This will
* get my welcome message and news
* from a db
*/
function content( ) {
	//First the welcome message.
	$welcome = mysql_fetch_array( mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM " . $__reqDBPre . "welcome ORDER BY welcome_id DESC LIMIT 1" ) );
	echo'<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana; color: #808080; font-weight: bold" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber2">';
    echo'<tr>';
	echo'<td width="100%"><span style="color: #000080">__Welcome<br>';
	echo$welcome['message'];
	echo'</span></td>';
	echo'</tr></table>';
	unset( $welcome );
	unset( $db );
	//Now the updates...
	$row_query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM " . $__reqDBPre . "updates ORDER BY update_id DESC LIMIT 5" );
	while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $row_query ) ) {
		echo'+Update, Posted on' . $row['date'] . '<br />';
		echo$row['update'];
		echo'<hr />';
	}
	mysql_free_result( $row_query );
}

/*
**
* Get template, and let's go
*/

$siteTemplate = new siteTemplate( "/template/_default/index.php" );
$siteTemplate->setParameter( "SITE_TITLE",$__reqSiteName );
$siteTemplate->setParameter( "SITE_CONTENT",content( ) );
$siteTemplate->createPage( );
?>

// Security Precaution, also for template class
define("INSITE","TRUE"); 
// Include in structure.php 
include("_required.php"); 
include($__reqFolder . "_structure.php"); 

// include class definition php
include( "_dbClass.php" );

function content( ) { 

$content = "Hello world!";
return $content;

}

//Get template, and let's go 
$siteTemplate = new siteTemplate( "/template/_default/index.php" ); 
$siteTemplate->setParameter( "SITE_TITLE",$__reqSiteName ); 
$siteTemplate->setParameter( "SITE_CONTENT",content( ) ); 
$siteTemplate->createPage( ); 
?>

Try this to begin with
and add the TRICK, HEAVY, (problematic mysql ) stuff after.
remember to make a
return $something;
from functions. That is those functions that SHOULD return something.
There are functions that only do something. Like an echo.

Should work, if you did make your class correctly.

Good luck!
