i'm learning some PHP template classes, almost all of it using
str_replace() function.
they work by reading the template file *.tpl and then replace some
string/tags that having format like {FOO}
my question is: why they using this technique? i think that it eat
more resources by reading the *.tpl file, find & replace {FOO} tags,
and include it in php file that call the class.
why not just use a variable/array and embed it to the template file? i
giving example so you can understand what i mean.
============
template.tpl
============
<html>
<head>
<title>template example</title>
</head>
<body>
<? echo $table; ?>
</body>
</html>
============
script.php
============
<?php
$table = "<table>\n<tr>\n";
for (i=0; i<=5; $i++)
{
$table .= "<td>$i</td>\n";
}
$table .= "</tr>\n</table>";
include ("template.tpl");
?>
best regards,
Markus
