Template Phraser

What is the best method for outputting templates. At the moment I have:

Template Class:

PHP Code:


			
function load($viewFile,$data = '')
{
    $this->templateFolder = APP_PATH . 'templates/' . TEMPLATE . '/';  
        
    if(file_exists($this->templateFolder . '/views/' . $viewFile . '.php'))
    {
        $file_output = file_get_contents($this->templateFolder . '/views/' . $viewFile . '.php');
        
        foreach($data as $key=>$val)
        {
            $file_output = str_replace('{' .$key . '}',$val,$file_output);
        }
        
       echo $file_output;
    }
}

Controller:

PHP Code:


			
class index_controller extends controller
{
    function index()
    {
        $data['welcome_message'] = 'This is the home page';
        $this->core->template->load('account/test',$data);
    }
    
    function contact()
    {
        $data['welcome_message'] = 'This is the contact page'; 
        $this->core->template->load('account/test',$data);
    }
}

View File:

HTML Code:

{welcome_message}

That all works, but i need something a bit more advanced, where i can do things like:

HTML Code:

{if $core->user->isRegistered()}
    
    Hello {$core->user->info('username')}

{endif}

I don't want to use smarty or anything I ideally need just 1 function that will phrase it from that to real php. Does anyone know if there is a simpleish way of doing it.

Thanks in advance.

php Code:

<?php if $core->user->isRegistered(): ?>
    
    Hello <?php $core->user->info('username'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Going back to the thread you replyed in before about application wide objects etc.

This means i have to do $core = core::init(); at the top of each view file which, sorry to say is not going to happen as its terrible and looks horrible also.

I don't remember creating an init() function in that other thread.

Why make your own template parser when there are lots of open source Classes already made? I use H2O: http://github.com/speedmax/h2o-php/tree/master

I would use it but its to extensive. I need something that is tiny and possibly one one file.

Sorry for the double post but id just like to say I'm going to use Wildhoney's method and use the following function:

PHP Code:


			
public function __set($index, $value)

{

    $this->vars[$index] = $value;

}

And the do foreach loop on $this->vars in the load() function
