Template class - help!!

Sam Granger · 06-01-2008, 11:29 PM

I have written the following simple class - first of all, if I can improve any parts, please let me know!!

PHP Code:


			
<?php



/**

 * @author Sam Granger

 * @copyright 2008, *******.com

 */



class Template {



    var $template;

    

    function __construct($template_file) {



        $this->template = file_get_contents($template_file);



    }

    

    function replaceTags($variable, $content) {

        $this->template = str_replace('<% ' . $variable . ' %>', $content, $this->template);

    }

    

    function displayHTML() {

        echo $this->template;

    }



}



?>

Used as following:

PHP Code:


			
$template = new Template('design.html');

$template->replaceTags('title', 'Hello!');

$template->replaceTags('message', 'Under construction');

$template->displayHTML();

Whats the best way to implement variables that are outputted from a while or for statement?
