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.
