brill_template_manager

This is a simple template engine created for https://isbrill.com.

to use:

init

define('_brill_template_path_','.path/to/templates/');
$templater = new brill_template_manager();

Set template variables like this:

$templater->max = 10;
$templater->name = 'Timothy';

get the template as a string like this:

$mystring = $templater->get_template('page', 'user', $args);

$args array is an alternative way to pass values $args overwrites the same named vars set directly

to output the template use:

$templater->do_template('page');

In this example, a sub-type of the template was not specified so the general version will be used.

How to format template names

templates are files that use a special naming paradigm

general-sub.php
general.php

The first is the specific format while the second is the default or fallback if a specific version does not exist.

function calls

Brill templates have access to the $this operator like this:

$this->template_part('form_top',$user); // use sub-template

WARNING: You can create a never-ending loop by calling the template within itself. You are expected to plan ahead so this does not happen or risk nasty errors.

variables

echo $this->max;

You can tuck your PHP into "tags" like this:

<p>Your name is <?php echo $this->name; ?>!</p>
