Re: [phplib] any way to parse .php3 files with template.inc? From: Max Derkachev (kot <email protected>)

Template class is intended to parse any text data. A template file could
contain html, plain text, php script or c source - anything - but it is
interpreted as text by the Template class. It has no ability to execute
anything in templates. It simply search strings like '{anything}' , '<!--
BEGIN anything -->' and '<!-- END anything -->' in template file, and decide
to fill them with defined variables, leave them untouched or remove them from
the template. That's all. You'll have to provide a script which can work with
particular template file. Put all the logic in that script.
Templates was designed just to let you distinguish between code (logic) and
markup (presentation), and to avoid poor practice of mixing code and html
tags in one script. The great feature of php to embed code in html pages
become annoying in large projects - the code become unreadable and hardly
maintainable, it is difficult to change presentation design and so on. With
templates you can avoid this.
