Salathe is spot on. Template files can be really extensive. However, to extend onto our simple template class, I would add the following code to store page states as well. That way you can have like so:

profile.default.php: Page to allow members to edit their profile
profile.complete.php: Page to inform users that profile update is complete
profile.error.php: Page to pull users back when they've left a required field empty

We create our views folder and then inside there we have our individual page folders, and then in our individual page folders we have the page states as listed above.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

define('VIEW_DEFAULT', 'default');
define('VIEW_COMPLETE', 'complete');
define('VIEW_ERROR', 'error');

class Template
{
    public function display($szView, $szState = VIEW_DEFAULT)
    {
        $szPage = 'views/' . $szView . '/' . $szView . '.' . $szState . '.php';
        
        if (file_exists($szPage))
        {
            include $szPage;
        }
    }
}

$tpl = new Template;
$tpl->display('example', VIEW_COMPLETE); // views/example/example.complete.php

?>
