How does this work?

Okay, ive seen this many times before {USERNAME} and that can printout a ausername in php. They use things like that. How does that work?

You'll have to explain it a little more

what???

 

 

{} if this braces is use within the variable its like your telling PHP that it is variable for some reading ive done it says that it is faster to use that i dont know but thats base on what i read we cant tell because its fast and we cant see the difference

 

 

and if u can echo this

echo TENG; without the"" that means it is define somthing like

define('TENG', 'ASTIG')

 

giving the value of teng as astig

 

hmmm does that make sense?????

I tried it it doesn't seem to work.

Ive seen template systems using this. Like

 

<td>{USERNAME}</td>

It prints out <td>Styles</td> or w/e

 

In php if i tried $username = $_SESSION['USERNAME'];

{USERNAME} it doens't do anything it prints out {UERNAME}

in our html template we do this #{value}# almost the same as what you want in h=this case we are using the http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php

 

but im telling you this is not easy you have to have allot of thing to have this work you have to have a regex and etc.

 

anyway the logic is that the html page will be read by the php and get the value inside the {} then add the variable name like in our case

 

if we define this $var[name]='teng';

 

when the php code read the html it will get the name inside the {} then put the $var[name]

 

it actually the same as echoing in the html like <? echo something?> but for us to have a clean template we do something like this

 

HHHHHHHM does it make sense

BTW they my team mate design this and i believe it will affect the speed of the site because it has to read first the forms before loading so i suggest even if we use this think of other ways LOL
