split php from html

leagal4ever

How can be code split php from html like in phpbb3!

dalecosp

<?php

$html="this is an example ... foo!";

$sum=5+5;

?><html>
   <head>
      <title>Example Page</title>
   </head>
   <body>
   <p>This page is an example of split HTML with PHP code embedded.</p>
<?php
   echo "<pre>".$html."</pre>";
?><p>The sum of the fingers on both your hands (unless you have 
lost one in an accident or from birth 
defects is <?php echo $sum; ?> fingers.</p>
    </body>
</html>

Sort of sloppy, perhaps, but hopefully makes a point.

When I go about separating HTML from PHP (e.g. client-side code versus server-side code) I completely separate them - e.g. they go into different files.

This is why there are template engines such as Smarty where HTML/display code is kept in separate template files, meaning that .php files are just that - files with PHP code.

... and it's also why there is an [man]include/man function.

Although include() sounds like you're loading a file to be evaluated (e.g. parsed for PHP code); if there isn't any PHP, then [man]readfile/man would be a bit better.

I was looking for smarty i somehow cant look both code in one file its hard to maintain isn't it?
I woul need some help.

Installation - Windows, IIS/Apache, PHP5
Extract files, rename Smarty.x.x.x to smarty (suggest OUTSIDE of your www root!)
Example: d:\smarty
Run phpinfo.php to find out your php.ini location
Edit php.ini's include_path and add the location of the libs folder.
example: include_path = ".;d:\smarty\libs" ////// what mean .; phpinfo does show right path (include_path = ".;D:\Server\Smarty\libs" ) is thise ok
Restart IIS/Apache//yes
Setup these two folders INSIDE your www root: //// is thise mean just make folders
(wwwroot)/smarty/templates (this is where your templates will go)/ //D:\Server\www\Smarty\templates

(wwwroot)/smarty/configs

Setup these two folders OUTSIDE of your www root:// same 2 more folders
d:/smarty/templates_c
d:/smarty/cache
http://news.php.net/php.smarty.dev/2703

first example does give me error
Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "index.tpl" in D:\Server\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1092

Should in change those directories in example(look link).
Does every server need smarty installed for displaying those pages?
