Re: [PHP] Re: Templating engines
You also need to recognize that you are going to need presentation-layer
logic. You simply can't get around that and you shouldn't confuse
presentation-level logic, which can be quite complex, with the business
logic behind your application. I often see people make the mistake of
trying to separate their PHP code from their HTML which the article you
referenced hinted at as well.
Yes, I completely agree that business logic should be separated from
presentation logic. Only problem I have is that from there people go on to
conclude that html does not need to be sseparated from presentation logic.
As far as I see It is a very good idea to keep all 3 of them separated.
Bussines logic from presentation logic by proper organization and code
design in php, and presentation logic from html by template engine.
My main issue with general-purpose templating systems is that they
always end up inventing a new language. It may start off as a subset of
some other language, but eventually it turns into a new language. In
Smarty, for example, you now have stuff like:
They have to define markup language, (begin/end of template, free variable
marker), but we are not talking about that.
What usually is the problem is that template systems define its own
programming language, with constrructs for loops, if's and whole other bunch
of stuff to model dynamic behavior. And I agree with you that this makes
diffrence between using such template system, and just php as template
system much, much smaller.
Where I do not agree, is that fat template syndrom is common to all
template engines, and that it is inveitable. For instance my TemplateTamer,
is now almost 5 years old, and it never had any sign of becomming
programming language in it self, and it never will. It has a markup language
of only 6 idioms:
!--NAME: --
!--END: --
!--GLOBAL: --
!--USEGLOBAL: --
{VARIABLE}
{#TRANSLATE}
and there is no single sign of presentation logic inside html template, no
ifs, no loops, no calls to the methods or functions, nada. All presentation
logic is written in php, and in nicely separated logic.php file.

I seriously doubt that php has problems to execute for loop correctly, you
are probably missusing your template system. Say what does a stand for in:
$template-parseTemplate(guest_NameRate, a);
if it stands for append, than maybe in second pass through the loop you add
7 fiends to allready existing 7, in 3. pass you add 7 more to 14 existing,

When any page in or under that directory is called, Embperl::Object would look for template files in the current directory and go upward in the tree until they are found and prepend/append them. There was no code or includes required within the pages themselves. In TemplateTamer, for each page you define the class that is responsible for handling it. In typical site you use this to build a hierarchy of pages something like below: MySitePage --UserPage --NewsPage --ArticlePage --ListPage ... --ContributorPage --EditNewsPage ... --AdminPage --AddUserPage --BackupPage ... You catch my drift. Then NewsPage inhertis from the UserPage, and overides/adds functinality specific to itself, while keeping most of the implementation from the parent UserPage. The organization is not per directory, like in your example, but TT lets you keep your projects files in neat bundle, and helps you with house keeping with template files. It also lets you see your templates in tree view, sith all variables and subtemplates. rush -- http://www.templatetamer.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] NEW: XML Application Objects
Terence [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] warning: very personal opinion to follow... If you *do* finally decide to master XSLT, you have to conclude that *any* other templating system is a complete/utter waste of time. (all authors of ``yet another PHP templating system'', please try not to be offended). I'm not talking about features/functionality either (for which XSLT is more than adequate), I'm talking about sheer bothersomeness. ie. I'm fundamentally lazy and I couldn't be bothered learning snazzy g.o.a.t. [proprietary] templaty goodness system -- crappy or otherwise -- I don't care how fantastic it is. The reason why the PHP template has been re-invented so many times, is becuase there is something missing - IMHO, XSLT fits that gap more than good enough. And since it is a standard, it will only get better -- it has a future. And that, my friends, it good enough for me (being that I am lazy and all). Well, I completely agree with you that there is no one size fits all solution for templates, and that one should choose what suites him best. Anyway, in similar very personal way, especially since I am naturaly biased, I will like to point out my reasons why I prefere my php template system compared to the xml+xslt combination: a) xslt templates are fat or dirty ones if you will, meaning they contain code, effectively nullifying my major reason to use templates: separation of html from code. Some people prefer fat templetes and try to stuff whole presentation logic in them while only models reside in php, but prefer thin or clean templates, where template is basically resource produced independently by designer, and php runs presentation and model code. With fat templates, they usualy get to complex to be coded by web designers, so they have to be poked by programmers, which means that it is much more difficult to split the job. Also means that programmer has to code in 2 languages, php, and in some template language, while in thin templates model he can code in one language domain. b) working with xml+xslt requires more footwork than with TT. Well, again, it is just my reasons.

Any facts to back that up? :) :) no, I was think in terms of how easy is to write template oriented software, and how flexible te results are, which are all pretty subjective things, that is why I used I think fomulation :). Anyhow, it was not my intent to refer to the execution efficiency. My appologoizes for beeing misleading. FYI: I've got a template benchmark site running at http://sepodati.realxl.net/tpl_bench/ Any interest in looking over the code and adding a TemplateTamer benchmark to the list? I'll take a look, but I am not sure I could fit into the structure of the benchmark. Problem is that this benchmark oriented towards the simple templating class (or functions) that user has to initialize and make some calls in order to has his variables substituted. This benchmark then wraps this substitution calls in the loop to see how efficient is template engine at simple variable substitutions. TemplateTamer works other way around, it basically provides you a light framework, and code generator. You as a progaramer have a duty to provide the data for the variables (by returning them in the array as result of the getData() function), and there is no more you are doing. You do not initialize templates, you do not load various template files into the template engine, you do not assign variable one by one, you do not call substitute function, you do not echo the youtput in order for your page to appear. All this is handled by code that was generated by TemplateTamer or by framework. Actually first (internal) versions of TemplateTamer did not have its own template engine, they were just using FastTemplate for the task. I believe such approach can be a real time saver and more easy way to work, but it seems difficult to fit into your benchmark, but I will give it a try if nothing else to get one more link :) . Another problem is that thing that is benchmarked is plain page without structure. No subtemplates, not conditional parts, no repeated subtemplates. And I believe this is where the real action is for the templates, and this is all you have in the real world situations. Also I believe that in real world situations, time that is spent in the any template engine is not that important, usually the bottleneck is somewhere else, database most usually. But I am driffting.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP OOP x Procedural Performance
Joe Stump [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sure ... I'm of the belief that OOP (in PHP anyways) has great use for core libraries. Core libraries, by their nature, generally don't output HTML. It's a core libraries job to separate logic and presentation. How portable is your library that outputs HTML for a guy who wants PDF/WAP/XML output? For instance, I have a product class that does various things to format product *data* prior to my procedural scripts putting it into my Smarty templates. If that product class outputted the data in HTML it would be useless to me for WAP users or a script that generated PDF versions of our online catalog. Core libraries are of course first candidate for OOP, but I think there are many other places where you can use it successfully. Take for instance how it is used in TemplateTamer. In it, you define a class responsible for the generation of the page. In typicall usage you have a common class that all page classes inherit from, and which defines elements of page common to all pages on the site, and specific page classes implement only the parts they differ in. When the site grows, it is common to refine the hierarchy of page classes, so you have one page class on the top, then a few below it describing main sections of the site, and then on the bottom concrete page classes. Another OOP usage in TT can be in creating classes that represent GUI components. For instance on one site I have worked, I have created a JobAdForm object, that handles for reponsible displaying form and editing of JobAd object. Than when I needed similar but litle more extended version for superuser pages, I have just created a subclass SuperuserJobAdForm, and overided necessary parts, but inhertied 95% of code. So I think there is usage for OOP also in gui parts of the code, where it can also help better organization of code, and reuse between the pages or components on the same site. rush -- http://www.templatetamer.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: newbie OOP?
Bobby Rahman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am new to PHP and was wondering whether to develop small applications (20 pages ) is it worth it to use OOP? My take is that on 20 pages especially if they behave like app, it makes sence to use OO. In particular I am having troubles breaking my application design-wise, into classes and operations. I could give you some hints how would you go on dividing things with TemplateTamer. When working with TT, you need to define a class for each page on your site, and this class provides the data in the run time needed to display the page (i.e. it provides values for the variables, and which templates get displayed, etc). First you would define base class for your site, that would contain handling of elements common to all of your pages. For instance menu, footer, you get the idea. For the parts that change from page to page (perhaps title, or main content in the middle, or..) you would call a member function leaving this function responsible to return correct values. Now when defining the class for particular page, you would go on by extending this base class for this site, and automatically inherit common behaviour. For things that are specific for this page you would overide member functions from the base class and provide specific implementation (for instance function returning a middle content). Now dependning on the size and complexity of your site, 2 things would probably come naturaly. One is that you would refine your class hiearchy of pages. So you would for instance have one base class, then for instance class for the user pages, and class for supervisor pages, both of them extending base class. Now all user pages would extend user page class, and all supervisor pages would extend supervisor page class. Anothe thing that could happen is that you would define classes for parts of your interface, for instance toolbox, or similar. When you do so, you will be able to configure them and insert as components in each particular page. Probably it does sound like a lot of complication, especially in the begging, but once you get a hang of it, it is a real time saver, an let's you concentrate on your applications behavior and functionality. If you need some more advice how to use TemplateTamer and OO togehter, drop me an e-mail. rush -- http://www.templatetamer.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi, take a look at the TemplateTamer (link is in the sig). Aside from beeing just template engine, it commes with complete environment that eases many chores while programming with templates.

Hello,
I have a question.. Does PHP have support for Class Interfaces
declaration?
What in Java would be:
? If not, how can I do this?.. Thanks a lot.
Well, interfaces are needed in Java since it is a statically typed language.
For dynamically typed language like php there is no need for it. If you
would like to do it just for the documentation sake, than write abstract
class like:
class pehro_interface {
function a1() {}
function a2() {}
function a3() {}
}

What are your views on the best way to include the ability to add
languages after it is complete?
With TemplateTamer, you mark every item that needs to be translated as
{#WORDKEY}, and the framework will do a call back to your page class to get
a correct translation for the WORDKEY, and substitue translation in the
output. In your app you can then detect the current language setting, and
return appropriate translation.
