 Check out the ob_* functions

 You could do this

 ob_start();

 include /your/file.php;

  Subject: [PHP] eval and HEREDOC
 
  Hello,
 
  I am having trouble with a part of my templating script. I'll
  try to explain:
 
  The template itself is HTML with PHP code inside it, like:
 
  div?=strtoupper($user['name']);?/div
 
  And I have the following code as part of the templating engine:
 
  $template = file_get_contents($file);
  $template = return TEMPLATE\n.$template.\nTEMPLATE;\n;
  $template = eval($template);
 
  The problem is that the eval() HEREDOC combination gives the
  following output:
 
  ?=strtoupper(Array['time']);?
 
  If in the HTML file (template) I use
 
  div?=strtoupper({$user['name']});?/div
 
  I get  ?=strtoupper(username);? as an output.
 
  I have tried closing the php tag like this:
 
  $template = return TEMPLATE\n?.$template.\nTEMPLATE;\n;
 
  but the extra ? only gets outputed as HTML.
 
  This is my first post to this mailing list, so I great you
  all and thank you for any kind of solution to my problem.

 Why are you using HEREDOC to begin with? I personally find them to be
 ugly
 and more trouble than they're worth.

 You can write the same thing as this I think (untested):

 $template = eval(file_get_contents($file));

 But you might also consider using include_once or require_once
 instead
 of this eval() business.

 Also note, that a string can span more than one line and have variables
 in
 it. It can even be used with code, so HEREDOC is again useless for most
 situations:

 $foo = 
 Hello $name,\n
 \n
 Today is .date('Y-m-d').\n
 \n
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
 \n
 Nulla eros purus, pharetra a blandit non, pellentesque et leo. In augue
 metus, mattis a sollicitudin in, placerat vitae elit.
 \n
 Quisque elit mauris, varius sit amet cursus sed, eleifend a mauris.

1) heredoc is great for not caring about escaping ' or . Whether or
not you like the syntax it's not hard to use in any way.
2) stay away from eval. Just don't use it unless you have no other choice
3) the include+output buffering solution is much better. Another
option would be to use markers in your templates and then just replace
them with content. Whether or not that would suit you depends on what
kinds of templates you're making and for what purpose

Re: [PHP] eval and HEREDOC

2010-07-21 Thread Sorin Buturugeanu 
Hi Peter!

In the first version of the template engine I had markers but now I
need more complex conditions or operations inside the template files,
like array of arrays and so on. I really like the freedom to be able
to just open a PHP tag ? ? and use a foreach() or whatever PHP
function as I please.

Thanks again to all of you for your support! :)
