TEMPLAR

"The PHP as a Template" PHP Template Processor

Template Syntax

<div>Hello <?= $who ?>!</div>

Invocation

$tmpl = new Templar();
$tmpl->display("/path/to/template.phtml", array("who"=>"Ladies"));

When you call Templar::display an internal function cache is examined to see if there is a function for the requested template. If not one is created. So the above template your template gets turned into:

function($__data){extract($__data); unset($__data); ?><div>Hello <?= $who ?>!</div><?php}

And cached into the template function registry. All subsequent requests for that template reuse this function.

Example

Take this example for a more real world example:

product-list.phtml

<?php
   $tmpl = new Templar();
   $tmpl->addTemplateDirectory(APPLICATION_PATH."/templates/");
?>
<table class="product-grid">
    <?php 
        foreach($products as $product){
            $tmpl->display("product-row.phtml", $product);
        } 
    ?>
</table>

product-row.phtml

<tr><td><?= $id ?></td><td><?= $sku ?></td><td><?= $product_name ?></td><td><?= $sale_price ?></td></tr>
