not really mimic, just using tpl files is much easier than not usinga template system.
As for number one, here is my class template file:
<?php
/* Begin the class */
class tplSys
{
var $loci = array();
/* Holds the html template */
var $tpl_htmlcode = array();
/* Holds variable references */
var $tpl_dirtycode = array();
/* Holds compiled and clean code */
var $tpl_cleancode = array();
function tplSys($root)
{
/* Constructor, sets tpl and cache directories */
if( empty( $root ) )
{
die("tplSys(): No root directory set.");
}
if( !is_dir( $root ) )
{
die("tplSys(): $root Directory doesn't exist.");
}
$this->loci['root'] = $root;
$this->loci['cache'] = $root . 'cache/';
}
/* Grabs file from directory and loads
all the code into _dirtycode array */
function getFile($file_array)
{
if( !is_array($file_array) )
{
die("getFile(): $file_array not an array.");
}
foreach( $file_array as $ref=>$filename )
{
$fileref = $this->loci['root'] . $filename;
$this->tpl_htmlcode[$ref] = implode( "", @file($fileref) );
}
}
/* Define references inside the HTML file */
function varRef( $handle, $refArray )
{
if( !is_array($refArray) )
{
die("varRef(): $refArray is not an array.");
}
if( empty($handle) )
{
die("varRef(): $handle was empty.");
}
if( !empty( $this->tpl_htmlcode[$handle] ) )
{
/* Code exists, create references */
foreach( $refArray as $ref=>$replace )
{
$this->tpl_dirtycode['{' . $ref . '}'] = $replace;
}
}
else
{
die("varRef(): Template data for $handle didn't exist.");
}
}
/* Parses dynamic code and prints it to the browser */
function parseDynamic( $handle )
{
if( empty( $handle ) )
{
die("parseDynamic(): $handle was empty.");
}
if( !empty( $this->tpl_htmlcode[$handle] ) )
{
$this->tpl_cleancode[$handle] = $this->compile( $handle );
eval( $this->tpl_cleancode[$handle] );
}
}
function compile( $handle )
{
if( empty( $this->tpl_htmlcode[$handle] ) )
{
die("compile(): No code existed for $handle.");
}
if( empty( $handle ) )
{
die("compile(): $handle was empty.");
}
$code = $this->tpl_htmlcode[$handle];
/* Count and clean up the code for parsing */
$code = str_replace('\\', '\\\\', $code);
$code = str_replace('\'', '\\\'', $code);
$d_code = explode( "\n", $code );
$line_count = sizeof( $d_code );
/* Loop through and add 'echo' and '\\n' to each line */
for( $x = 0; $x < $line_count; $x++ )
{
foreach( $this->tpl_dirtycode as $varref=>$replace )
{
if( preg_match( "/^(.*)" . $varref . "(.*)$/", $d_code[$x] ) )
{
$d_code[$x] = preg_replace( "/^(.*)" . $varref . "(.*)$/", "\\1" . $replace . "\\2", $d_code[$x] );
}
}
/* This is where the loop data and logic will be taken care of */
$d_code[$x] = 'echo \'' . $d_code[$x] . '\' . "\\n";';
}
$code = implode("\n", $d_code);
return $code;
}
}
/* EOF */
?>
