A very simple rendered for PHP based templates. Not a template language, just a simple wrapper that handles
undefined template variables, helper functions, and turing a phtml file into a string.
If you're using some kind of framework, you probably shouldn't be using this. I threw this together to be pasted (yes, pasted, if you have composer up and running, pull in a real template library) into exsisting legacy projects and turn classic HTML with embedded PHP into a bit more up-to-date PHP rendered templates.
- Set View Variables
- Set View Helpers
- Render Template in Layout
index.php:
$render = new Render('layout.phtml');
$render->name = 'Tim';
$render->message = 'This is a secret message';
$render->encode = function($value){
return str_rot13($value);
};
echo $render('template.phtml');
layout.phtml:
<html>
<head>Example Layout</head>
<body>
<h1>My Old Site</h1>
<div><?php echo $this->content; ?></div>
</body>
</html>
template.phtml
<p>Hi <?php echo $this->name ?>, welcome back.</p>
<p>Here's your secret message: <?php echo $this->encode($this->message); ?></p>
