$pageTitle is in the template, it's replaced, $pageContent is in the
template, it's replaced. But any variables within the
page_to_display are
simply output into the page rather than processed by PHP. I
realise that
file_get_contents is basically returning a string and I"m just
doing string
replacement when I include the template.html, so my only question
is, what's
the actual way of doing this?
The simples way would be like so:
<?php
// content/page1.php
#
# Define the variables for the content of the page.
#
$page_title = "Welcome To My Website!";
$paragraph_a =<<<EOT
Welcome to my website!
This is a HEREDOC that we'll be using in the template to display some
text, formatted with HTML line breaks and all.
It's that simple!
EOT;
$paragraph_a = nl2br($paragraph_a);
$main_image = "images/main.png";
$main_image_link = "http://www.other-website.tld";;
?>
<?
// templates/page1.php
#
# The formatting for the page.
#
/* All of your headers and starting
HTML should be included by your
switching script. This file will also
require that short_open_tags is on.
If you can't/don't want it on, just
modify the tags herein. */
?>
<div>
<?=$paragraph_a;?>
</div>
<div><a href="<?=$main_image_link;?>"><img src="<?=$main_image;?>"
border="0"></a></div>
<? // End of templates/page1.php ?>
<?php
// templates/header.php
#
# A very basic sample header.
#
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?=$page_title;?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php // End of templates/header.php ?>
<?php
// templates/footer.php
#
# A very basic sample footer.
#
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php // End of templates/footer.php ?>
<?
// index.php
#
# A simple index switch page.
#
if(isset($_GET['s']) && strlen($_GET['s']) > 1) {
switch($_GET['s']) {
case "page1":
$section = $_GET['s'];
break;
case "contact":
$section = $_GET['s'];
break;
case "about":
// We'll pretend the page name was changed here.
$section = "about_us";
break;
default:
$section = "home";
break;
}
} else {
$section = "home";
}
include('content/'.$section.'.php');
include('templates/header.php');
include('templates/'.$section.'.php');
include('templates/footer.php');
/* This means that the content file with the
variables is parsed first, and defines the
variables within the scope of this execution.
It's included before the header.php file so
that the $page_title variable is defined. */
?>

Here is another way (same disclaimer as above):
<?php
$replace = array(
'REPLACE_ME_1' => $replaceMe1,
'REPLACE_ME_2' => $replaceMe2,
'REPLACE_ME_3' => $replaceMe3,
'REPLACE_ME_4' => $replaceMe4,
);
$template = file_get_contents ('templates/somePage.tpl.php');
$somePage = str_replace (array_keys($replace), array_values($replace),
$template);
?>
<html>
<head><title>Contents of some page</title></head>
<body>
<div id="somePage"><?php echo $somePage; ?></div>
</body>
</html>
Happy coding!
