help me understand what's happening here?

[peehaichpee]

total PHP noob, so I started using PHP runner, and it turns out I love PHP coding.  Anyway I'm building this database and I'm working around what phprunner did.

What exactly is going on here:

{BEGIN details_row}

<tr class="runner-row style1">

<td class="runner-cl"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Asset_Number_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Asset_Description_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$CoCd_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Class_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Serial_No__value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Invent_No_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$CostCentre_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Plnt_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$LOCATION_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Location_Name_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Remarks_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Formula_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$sub_class_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc ">{$Cost_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cc runner-clast">{$W_Start_value}</td>

<td class="runner-cr"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td>

</tr>

{END details_row}

 

ultimately what I want to do is pull up details of an asset from another table based on what $Asset_Number_value is in the main table.... is that possible? I was hoping to use what phprunner did but I don't mind cracking out my own solution

 

thanks

If you want to learn php I would steer well clear of anything like phprunner. Things such as this tend to write terrible, generic and bloated code.

 

The above example isn't even PHP. It looks like some type of template.
