You have a home-brew templating engine, and you've run into the EXACT
SAME problem every other templating engine has ever had...
So you REALLY ought to look at how Smarty solved it, how PEAR solved
it, how all the other templating engines solved it.
Be Warned:
You're going to go for awhile, and then run into ANOTHER problem which
is the EXACT SAME problem every other PHP Template author has hit.
And you're going to REPEAT this process indefinitely...
Maybe this is a case where re-inventing the wheel is a Bad Idea.
At a minimum, you ought to understand very well how all the other
wheels work, and don't work -- which it is clear from the question
that you don't.
Keep on rollin' :-)

I wouldn't use a class/function to output anything. Why not just return
the data, and loop thru that?
function myFunction() {
/* - Code - */
while ( $data = mysql_fetch_array ( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC ) ) {
$return_data[] = $data;
}
}
return $return_data;
$myData = myFunction();
foreach ( $myData as $data ) {
echo END
table
tr
td$data[name]/td
/tr
/table
END;
}

check into the eval() function
I see reading in the user notes that you will want to do something like
$filedata = file_get_contents($file);
while ($result) {
$list .= eval('?'.$filedata);s
}
Looks like someone has figured this out.
You might also look into using str_replace and use markers in your
template file
{SOME_VAR}
and then set in your while loop
$some_var = $result['something'];
$list .= str_replace('{SOME_VAR}', $some_var, $filedata);
This might work for you also
