How do I make stuff like <!-- IF --> or <!-- ENDIF -->

[Ruko]

Im currently making template phases for the forum and its HTML templates. How do I add and make these things function.

 

Example:

<b>Hello World</b>

<!-- ECHO: Hello -->
<!-- INCLUDE hello.htm -->

 

[oni-kun]

Those are called SSI's, Or Server Side Includes and do not relate in sense to PHP unfortunately.

[andrewgauger]

<!--#include virtual="hello.htm" -->

 

Oni-kun's right (as always) its Server Side Include.

Or write a template system that parses it and replace it with the necessary codes.

Thats what im looking for. Now how do I write it, lol.

[Ken2k7]

Grab the template file, parse it with some RegExp, and replace it with something else.

example:

 

<?php
$file = '/my/templates/template1.tmpl';
$handle = fopen($file, 'rb');
$str = fread($handle, filesize($file));
fclose($handle);


$str = preg_replace("~<!-- ECHO:(.+?) -->~si", "$1", $str);
echo $str;
?>

[Ruko]

example:

 

<?php
$file = '/my/templates/template1.tmpl';
$handle = fopen($file, 'rb');
$str = fread($handle, filesize($file));
fclose($handle);


$str = preg_replace("~<!-- ECHO:(.+?) -->~si", "$1", $str);
echo $str;
?>

 

How about stuff like <!-- IF LOGGED IN --> or <!-- INCLUDE -->

[The Little Guy]

<?php
$file = '/my/templates/template1.tmpl';
$handle = fopen($file, 'rb');
$str = fread($handle, filesize($file));
fclose($handle);


if(preg_match("~<!-- IF LOGGED IN -->~si", $str)){
    // user is logged in
}

if(preg_match("~<!-- INCLUDE:(.+?) -->~si", $str, $matches)){
    include $matches[1];
}
?>

 

I didn't test...
