[1] http://in.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php Hey Yeti, Sorry I took so long to respond. Been a busy week or so. I've decided, for ease of production, to go another route. I am for the time being, using Smarty's engine. This will likely change down the road to a custom template engine, but I believe at this time this is the best option in regards to time/ease. Thanks for the help anyways. It was valuable information. - Craige -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] getStatic
str_replace will take arrays for before and after sequences.
So, build arrays, and do ONE str_replace and Bob's your uncle.
Another option, a bit crude, but effective, would be to wrap your template-y
bit in a function that calls 'extract' on an array of variable names.
class Template_thingie {
private $vars = array();
public function template_register_variable($varname){
$vars[] = $varname;
}
function template_render_whatsit(){
extract($vars);
include(some_file_$foo_here.php);
}

[PHP] getStatic
Hey guys,
So, I was working on my framework today, and noticed unfortunately that
PHP does not allow using the magic method __get for static variables.
There is a patch available, but I'm not sure how long it will be before
it makes it into the stable PHP release.
Anyway, my question is about what route I should take now.
The reason I was looking for this was for the built in template engine.
I expected to be able to put in a page
{HTML::$variable1}
or
{self::$variable1}
and have it evaluate using native PHP variables, instead of doing a
large number of PHP str_replace for text based variables, a process
which is surely slower.
As I see it, my options are:
Create
public static function get($fpName)
And have my templates littered with the extra
{HTML::get(variable1)}
OR
use PHP str_replace based variable parsing creating what I imagine would
be a significantly higher overhead.
What would you do?
