Found this browsing the Sitepoint forums. A great and simple method for building templates in PHP:
class Template extends ArrayObject { protected $file = null; public function setFile( $file ) { $this->file = $file; } public function __toString() { extract($this->getArrayCopy()); ob_start(); include($this->file); return ob_get_clean(); } } // In your controller... $template = new Template(); $template->setFile( 'myTemplate.phtml' ); // Fictional model method to get rowset from a query $template['rows'] = $db->getRows( $query ); $template['title'] = 'Hello World'; echo $template; |
