Give smarty a try rather than re-inventing the wheel

Greetings, HI All, I hope all is well. I have set up a template parser. Basically, it parses the template and finds tags with tag_name.dat file and then includes the tag_name.dat file. I have considered a few other options but as of now I think I like what I have come up with. The only problem that I have in my design is that I have to hard code tables in the dat file mixing php and html. I would prefer to be able to do something like: [[tag with db query]] <table> <tr><td>colname</td><td>colname</td><td>colname</td></tr> <tr><td>%var1%</td><Td>%var2%</td><td>%var3%</td></tr> </table> [[/tag with db query]] I would like it to be able to parse the line with the %var1% (which is the column name with % or some other indicator on each side) in it and then have it generate how many ever rows as nessecary. Currently, my parsing engine loads the template, preg_splits() it so each template tag is on a new line, and then passes through the resulting array and executes the code for whatever tag is chosen. There are a couple ideas that I have thought of but have not thought of any real good way so I am turning to the list. Thanks for all of your help on this list! -- Leonard Burton, N9URK [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The prolonged evacuation would have dramatically affected the survivability of the occupants."
