splitting up the printed data

[bonkaz]

hiya guys ive going around in circles with this script, its a domain search script, basically as i will show you in the code im trying 2 change the way the script outputs to a $template, i.e if($layout==0) is writes to $template, and if($layout==1) it writes to $template2, below is the original code i am working with unmodified from when i got it

//Function to print the results into your template
function print_results($layout)
{
    global $template,$registerlink,$domain,$ext;
    if(!is_file($template)){
        print"The template file into which to print the results either does not exist or is
        not writeable<br>
        please correct this if you are the webmaster of this site<br>
        The script can not continue exiting......";
        exit;
    }
    $template = file ($template);
    $numtlines = count ($template);	//Number of lines in the template
    $line = 0;
    while (! stristr ($template[$line], "<!--DOMAIN RESULTS-->") && $line < $numtlines) {
	echo $template[$line];
	$line++;
    }
    if($layout==0){
        $line++;
        print   "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellPadding=2 class=font1l>";
        print   "<tr><td><b>Domain query Results for \"$domain.$ext\"</b></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><hr></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td>The domain is available <a href=\"$registerlink?domain=$domain.$ext\">register</a> it now</td></tr>";
        print   "</table>";
    }
    if($layout==1){
        $line++;
        print   "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellPadding=2 class=font1l>";
        print 	"<tr><td><b>Domain query Results for \"$domain.$ext\"</b><br></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><hr></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><b>The domain is already taken <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?domain=$domain&ext=$ext&option=whois\">Check</a> the whois information<br></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td>Check another domain name <a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">here</a></td></tr>";
        print   "</table>";
    }
        while ($line < $numtlines) {
	echo $template[$line];
	$line++;
   }
}

any help is appreciated

There is nothing wrong with the function, it works as expected, what error are you getting.

i dont get an error with it at all..it works fine, but i want to change it. At the moment how it is written, this would be the output.

1stly

define the template with this in the top of the php script which isnt posted in the above coding

$template = "template.html"

and in

global $template,$template2,$registerlink,$domain,$ext;

and then u have

//Function to print the results into your template
function print_results($layout)
{
    global $template,$registerlink,$domain,$ext;
    if(!is_file($template)){
        print"The template file into which to print the results either does not exist or is
        not writeable<br>
        please correct this if you are the webmaster of this site<br>
        The script can not continue exiting......";
        exit;
    }
    $template = file ($template);
    $numtlines = count ($template);	//Number of lines in the template
    $line = 0;
    while (! stristr ($template[$line], "<!--DOMAIN RESULTS-->") && $line < $numtlines) {
	echo $template[$line];
	$line++;
    }
    if($layout==0){
        $line++;
        print   "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellPadding=2 class=font1l>";
        print   "<tr><td><b>Domain query Results for \"$domain.$ext\"</b></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><hr></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td>The domain is available <a href=\"$registerlink?domain=$domain.$ext\">register</a> it now</td></tr>";
        print   "</table>";
    }
    if($layout==1){
        $line++;
        print   "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellPadding=2 class=font1l>";
        print 	"<tr><td><b>Domain query Results for \"$domain.$ext\"</b><br></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><hr></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td><b>The domain is already taken <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?domain=$domain&ext=$ext&option=whois\">Check</a> the whois information<br></td></tr>";
        print   "<tr><td>Check another domain name <a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">here</a></td></tr>";
        print   "</table>";
    }
        while ($line < $numtlines) {
	echo $template[$line];
	$line++;
   }
}

now when you enter the form data and it passes through the script, this would output the end result being either
($layout==0) or
($layout==1)

to $template and show the result

what i want it to do is like this

define the templates
$template = "template.html"
$template2 = "template2.html

so when u pass the form data through it you would get

($layout==0) to print the results to $template

and

($layout==1)prints to $template2

im just not sure on how 2 make it print out to different templates for each outcome of the script

that may give you a better idea of what im trying to achieve
