About

ZephyrTemplateEngine is a template engine which implements the UniversalTemplateEngine interface.

This template engine uses the most flexible template language ever: php.

The template files are regular php files.

Inside template files, the following variables are available:

$z: an array containing all the variables passed to the template

Note: this is a simpler version of the ZeusTemplateEngine.

How to use?

First create a template file. I will use /path/to/my_app/pages/zephyr/home.php. Put the following content in it.

<h1>The home page</h1>
<p>
    Hello, this is an example template for Zephyr.
    In a Zephyr template, we write the variables using the most flexible template language ever: php.
    For instance, the following fruit is actually a variable, look how it's done in the source code:
</p>
<ul>
    <li>fruit: <?php echo $z['fruit']; ?></li>
</ul>

Now to render the template, do this:

$dir = "/path/to/my_app";
$tpl = "pages/zephyr/home.php";


$o = new ZephyrTemplateEngine();
$o->setDirectory( $dir );
echo $o->renderByPath($tpl, [
    "fruit" => "apple",
]);
