I'm searching for a very basic PHP templating system. Right now I'm using:
/**
* Renders a single line. Looks for {{ var }}
*
* @param string $string
* @param array $parameters
*
* @return string
*/
function renderString($string, array $parameters)
{
$replacer = function ($match) use ($parameters)
{
return isset($parameters[$match[1]]) ? $parameters[$match[1]] : $match[0];
};
return preg_replace_callback('/{{\s*(.+?)\s*}}/', $replacer, $string);
}
(from here: PHP - Extremely light templating system)
but I can only assign and display variables. I also need a way to use conditions like IF and loop arrays.
I found Rain TPL - http://www.raintpl.com/Quick-Start/#if - which is very close to what I'm looking for, but there are a few things that I don't like it it:
- it allows the dude who is writing the template to run PHP functions (inside the IF condition).
- it writes cache and php files, which I don't want
So, is there anything out there similar to this, but even more "basic", strict, and more secure?
