RE: [phplib] Conditional blocks From: Smith, David (Student Assistant) (David.Smith <email protected>)

If you have a large amount of HTML (part of the template) which you want to
appear only on a certain condition, this could be a useful feature. For
example

<!-- IFDEF NAME -->
<b>{NAME}</b><br>
<i>{SHORTDESC}</i><br>
<a href="buy.php?id={IDNUM}">Buy</a><br>
<!-- ENDIF NAME -->

perhaps not the best example, but there do seem to be some places where I
have found it useful.

You don't *have* to include it. I thought it might be worth suggesting it as
an additional method.
