PHP :: Simple Php Web Templates

OOP Templates And SE
Within a site I have a section built out of user generated directory.
Each dir has an Index.php (template and OOP based).

Those indexes when created are open and written with their corresponding ID
Obviously that ID is the only difference in between all indexes.

In order to grab all components’ content from my DB. I need to pass that ID as a SESSION. So the content only exists when an index is parsed

… Still with me? …

Now the question is:

Does a SE spider follow a link leading to content generated out of passing a session?

More Help With Templates Please
I am still struggling to get my mind around having html templates doing the
mark-up. What do I have to change so the PHP script that will bring in the
HTML template and put the value $row in the table?

<?php
// simple PHP script that outputs just one string
require_once "DB.php";
$dsn = "pgsql://username:password@localhost/zendtestdatabase";
$db = DB::connect($dsn);
$query = "SELECT * FROM links WHERE link_id = 3";
$result = $db->query($query);
while ($row = $result->fetchRow())
{
print "$row[1] <br />";
}
$result->free();
$db->disconnect();
?>

<html>

<body>
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="95%" >
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?=$row?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Templates?
i want to rewrite my website to separate the php script from the HTML code.
Therefore a web designer can update the design of the website without any
knowledge in PHP.

I read a lot of information about several templates like PhpLib,
FastTemplates, Smarty etc etc.

Some do not have a specific language so you cannot do complex things.
For example it's not easy to display a table (sometimes you need to have a
specific template to display the TR HTML tags...).
, it's not easy to use a different color to display a table row according to
a parameter etc etc

Some have a specific language, like Smarty.

My question is, what is the interest to learn another language??
What is the real interest of Smarty (or other one)?

What is the difference between these 2 situations:
I explain to a webdesigner this code:
{section name=sec1 loop=$contacts}
phone: {$contacts[sec1].phone}<br>
fax: {$contacts[sec1].fax}<br>
cell: {$contacts[sec1].cell}<br>
{/section}

Or I explain this:
foreach($contacts as $key=>$contact){
phone: <? echo $contact["phone"]?><br>
fax: <? echo $contact["fax"]?> <br>
cell: <? echo $contact["cell"]?> <br>
}

So I really think it's better to have;
- a php script which set some variables
- a HTML templates which build the content of the page. It uses a lot of
HTML tags and of course some really basic php function (if, foreach, echo).

Of course the php script call the HTML template.
You only use php, you work with the same variables, you don't need to call
some specific functions (assign etc etc), you don't need to know another
language etc etc.

Using Templates
Anyone feeling like they want to give me a 101 on general template handling in
PHP?

My history
I used to be a Roxen guy, where you could define your own HTML-tags, so that
"<foo />" could be set by "<define tag='foo'>Hello World</define>" so every
time you use the tag <foo /> it would be parse and replaced with "Hello World".
Naturally, within a <define>, any kind of roxen code can be used.

Today
I am using "php_value auto_prepend_file" and "php_value auto_append_file" to
insert a header and foot script to create the layout of a page, and function()
in required files to make small scriptlets such as headline() and stuff like
that.

The problem
With PHP, I can't make containers. Not real ones anyway. In Roxen, I could have
done this:

<define container="headline">
<span class="headline">
<contents />
</span>
</define>

So <headline>Hello!</headline>
Would become <span class="headline">Hello!</span>

You get the idea.

Now, with PHP, the above would be:

function headline($headline){
print "<span class='headline'>$headline</span>";
}

But the obvious problem is when you want to use this function for more than
just a small string - you might want a big block of HTML and PHP code to be
contained inside a HTML table with a border - for example. In Roxen this would
be done by:

<square>
Big old chunk of text, html, mysql, rxml or whatever.
</square>

And the end result would be that big chunk of text surrounded with the code of
a table. This is useful for lots of things, bbut generally for framing things
in different ways - mainly for news-boxes on pages

Currently, Im am doing this in php this way:

<?=square("start") ?>
Big old chunk of text, html, mysql, rxml or whatever.
<?=square("end") ?>

But that's just ugly code and cumbersome.

Now to the point (finally!) - How does templating workm, and could it be used
to accomplish what I am trying to do here? I am aware of 'Smarty' and I have
downloaded it and played with it, but it was just a difficult concept to grasp
for me (yeah,. so call me stupid) and it did caching and had compiled scripts
and whatever. Isn't there a smpler solution?

TPL Templates
I've researched this for a couple days, and I've found template engines like Smarty, but I don't want to use something I have to install separately. I know phpBB (probably others too, but I've only used phpBB) doesn't do that. So I'd like to do something like what they do, but I can't figure out how they did what they did.

Simple Script For Doing A Simple Photo Album And Journal?
I'm looking to quickly get a photo album online. Very simple, thumbnails,
a few pages, maybe a description, but hopefully a small script that's easy
to edit and work into my existing site. I know about hot scripts, etc. but
I was wondering if any one could recommend one?

Secondly, I also want to setup a journal. It's not really a "blog"
although I guess blog software may work. But it isn't going to be a
message board or anything like that. Just a place to put out random bits
of news. Once again, same premise, I'm trying to find the most simple
script possible that could basically traverse a directory of simple
textfiles and produce a list.

I know all about Blosxom and stuff like that, but I'd like a script that
just did the above and didn't overtake my site like PHPNuke or something
like that. I'll probably roll my own, but I thought I'd check first.

Need Help W/using Loops With Templates
I'm starting to use templates for my site and was curious about how they handled loops. For example, let's say I have a HTML table like this:

<table width="750" border="0">
<tr>
<td>{ARTIST}</td>
<td>{SONG_TITLES}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{ALBUM_TITLE}</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

And the PHP file then calls records from the database for each placeholder in a while loop like this...

$result=mysql_query("select * from music where id = '$album_id'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{
$album_id=$row['album_id'];
$artist= $row['artist'];
$album_title= $row['album_title'];
$song_title=$row['song_title'];
}

Normally, I would do something like this in the php file to point the data to the placeholder....

$myTemplate->tag("Site_title",gettitle());

So...my question is...where would I place the call to the database and the while loop and point each placeholder. Would I do something like this...

getmusic();
$myTemplate->tag("Album_Title",$row['album_title']); OR
$myTemplate->tag("Album_Title",$album_title);

If anyone has experience with this, please help! Thanks!!

Include In DW Templates
In my file "/Templates/template-file_1.dwg.php" I have:

<?php
include '../include/menulist.php'
?>

to include the file "/include/menulist.php".

Since I use this template-file in many different subfolders, it doesn't work except for "/folder1/file1.php" (since it's the same "tree-level")

and not for
"/file2.php" (root file, less "tree-level")
"/folder2/folder3/file3.php" (one more "tree-level")

I have tried many ways:

include ("@@('/include/menulist.php')@@");
and combinations of:
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
require_once

Libraries And Templates
Can someone point me to a good resource explaining how and why to use
templates in php. I am new to php and wondering if these so called templates
are just include files or what. And I have read several things about
libraries in php but some of the applications I see are using includeonce
files. Please don't tell me these are the same as libraries. I would
consider libraries an application global resource that does not need to be
referenced on every page to be utilized. Maybe included in something like a
global.asa (from windows world) to make available to entire application.

Can someone shed some light on these subjects and/or point me to a good
resource?

Templates = Better Performance?
I'm working on a web site that has a common header,navigation links, and footer.

I'm thinking of just writing 3 funtions:
function header()
function navigation()
function footer ()

and saving them on a common file (something like functions.php)

Then calling the functions in each page?

Will this affect how fast the web page loads?
Will it take longer for the page to load since it has to get part of the page from another file (functions.php)?

I've read a lot of stuff on templates (www.phpbuilder.com), but I think just using functions will work fine for me since I'm not expecting to do anything too fancy with the page.

How To Loop In Templates?
having developed this simple template engine for my own projects,the
engine simply replaces the {replacable} tags with the appropriate
value.

the template file is read into a string variable $string ,then i use
preg_replace_callback to process the tags.
now,i have a problem with the loops.i've though about this:

{LOOP_NAME}
things to be {repeated}
{/LOOP}

then i though about using preg_replace_callback twice,once to extract
the loop body,repeat it then insert it back into $string.
then use the final preg_replace_callback to replace all {replacable}
variables.
is this a bad idea for server loads?

Such A Thing As PHP/SQL Templates?
My company uses the open source "osCommerce" to build our website. I
really like how the site is organized.

I have been thinking about designing my own website, and I would love
to have it organized much like the osCommerce sites are organized, but
I don't need the e-commerce functions. My site would just be an
informative site with lots of downloads.

If you go to their website www.oscommerce.com, you'll see that their
website, an informative website without e-commerce, is organized
basically the same way that the commerce sites are organized.

I mentioned this on one of their forums and was told that, because of
the difficulty of removing the commerce components, I would be much
better off to just design my own database and website using PHP and
MySQL.

I am new to PHP and MySQL, and have only learned so far to make minor
changes to an already-existing site/database. I don't feel that I
could build one from scratch by myself.

So, my question is... Is there such a thing as "templates" that I
could download (much like the osCommerce open source is a template) to
use and modify to make my own?

Includes And DW Templates
Having a strange problem. The cart I am working on makes heavy use "include" which is just fine with me as it keeps the amount of code sitting infront of my face at any one time minimal. I made a DW template for this cart and tried to adhere explicitly to the structure and spirit of this cart.

The problem I am having is with the refs. Pages at the root of the site will only properly call the incuded files if I right the ref like this <?php include "xyz/inc/xyz.php"?> and that makes sence.

However, when I try to make links relitave like <?php include "../xyz/inc/xyz.php"?> I get error messages when I view the page saying no such luck basically. But, pages that are in subdirectories like this. Tried "/xyz/" too, but no luck. I also tried using the full url of the site, but that gave me the same problem no matter where the file was.

I would really like to be about to keep using my template the way it was supposed to be used and have files in subdirectories. I hate throwing all my files in the root directory. Can any body tell me what I am doing wrong?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I am pretty new to PHP, mostly a graphics and css jock. I have never had this kind of problem with just xhtml.

I have a .php that does all my sums and shows some adverts... Thats fine, because I can display this across multiple php files fine...

Except, (here it comes) when I come to include it within a phpBB page. Now you will understand that phpBB is template based, so I can't include it there. And if I include it in the php file, it prints it before compiling it.

Is there a way of doing an include that only includes when it is told to by the tpl file?

Templates Stored In Database
I have a form where a user can enter different feild, for simplicities sake,
say a 'To:', 'From' and 'Message' feild. The can select a 'template' from
the databse, each one has different layouts, images etc, and is sotred as
HTML code in the mySql. My question is how do I insert the vairables into
the correct places in the template? I realise if it was hard-coded I could
use something like:

echo "To:". $to. "<br><br>". $message. "<br><br>From:". $from;

etc, although this is simplified alot and the ones int databse contain
images, tables, css etc. I don't really want to hardcode them using IF
statements as I want it to be easy to add new 'templates'.
