Confusing Me.

Hello,

 

I seem to have a big problem with coding my site, and it has to do with the While loop.

 

 

I have a page called template.php Which looks something like

 

<?php

$temp = '
HTML HERE


{_NEWS_} << This is where the loop should be
{_HELLO_}
{_TEST_}


HTML HERE
'; // HTML is in here

define('text',$temp,true);

?>

 

Heres how the {_NEWS_} works...

 

<?php

include("template.php");

define('test',true);

$replace = array('{_NEWS_}','{_HELLO_}','{_TEST_}');
$with     = array('NEED TO LOOP HERE','Hello this is a test', 'hello sdasdsd');

echo str_replace($replace,$with,test);

?>

 

 

Now how can i make it so I can put a loop for the {_NEWS_}?

 

edit: Is there anything i can do the TEST constant to go through some script, and come back as a loop?

This can't simply be done as you wish. Thats half the reason template engines get so bloated, trying to impliment loops.

 

Best you could do (simply) would be something like....

 

<?php

include("template.php");

define('test',true);

# test data and loop.
$arr = array('hello','said','i');
foreach ($arr as $k) {
  $v .= $k;
}

$replace = array('{_NEWS_}','{_HELLO_}','{_TEST_}');
$with     = array($k,'Hello this is a test', 'hello sdasdsd');

echo str_replace($replace,$with,test);

?>
