That looks ok.
where I've captured incoming values in the GET ...
$template->column = array_key_exists('column', $_GET)) ?
htmlspecialchars($_GET['column']) : ''; # grab the sort column
Slightly off-topic, but usually you shouldn't use htmlspecialchars() when
setting values for PHPTAL. PHPTAL HTML-escapes all output by default.
However, when you build URLs in TAL, you might need to urlencode()
arguments.
I need to decide how to signify that a table, already sorted by
'column', should be reverse sorted by column. In the past I'd do this by
using the case of 'column' - 'column' for ascending and 'COLUMN' for
descending. Is there a way to do this without resorting to php? or is
there a more idiomatic PHPTAL way of doing it?
One way is to handle such things outside PHPTAL, and just give it array of
URLs for sorting.
If you want to compute those column names in TAL, you could write TALES
modifier and use ${upper:criteria}, but I think there's nothing wrong with
${php:strtoupper(criteria)}.
Personally I use "column" and "-column" for sorting.
