PEAR Integrated Templates

[Knackers]

Hi - I am using PEAR IT and it all seems pretty straight forward. However, i am tryign to assign a place holder dymanically by using the <!--INCLUDE --> statement, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Basically I am grabbing a page name from $HTTP_GET_VARS[] and then trying to set it to a variable, then in the tpl file trying to dynamically include the page requested (basically the same as an include statement)

$template = new HTML_Template_IT('.');
$template->loadTemplatefile("content.tpl", true, true);
   
   
/* Check to see which page has been requested and if the file exists. If not, include error message */
			      
if(!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS[page])&& file_exists("content/$HTTP_GET_VARS[page].tpl")) 
   {
      $page="content/$HTTP_GET_VARS[page].tpl";
   } 
   else
   {
      $page="content/error.tpl"; 
   } 
	
$template->setCurrentBlock("CONTENT");
$template->setVariable("PAGE", $page);
$template->parseCurrentBlock();
$template->show();

Then in the template (.tpl) file, I assign the 'PAGE&quot; variable to a placeholder like this:

<!-- INCLUDE {PAGE} -->

This doesn't seem to work - however if I hard code the path to the file in the indclude statement (Ie: <!-- INCLUDE content/test.tpl --> it works no problem?

If anyone has any idea on why this doesn't work - I'd love to hear about .

Not sure, but don't you need the $?


if(!empty($http_GET_VARS[$page])&& file_exists(&quot;content/$http_GET_VARS[$page].tpl&quot)
{
$page=&quot;content/$http_GET_VARS[$page].tpl&quot;;
}
else

Thanks tgus.
You don't need the $ sign because I am just grabbing the variable value from the GET associative array

eg

http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=page1

Echoing out the value of $page and indeed the {PAGE} placeholder confirms that the variables are being passed and set.

The problem, it would seem lies within the dynamic inclusion of the page file at the line:

<!-- INCLUDE {PAGE} -->

Everything else works as it should. As I said, when I hard code the value into the <!--INCLUDE page1.php --> it works perfectly. But not using the above dynamic approach.

Unfortunately, my time for working this out is getting short, so i may just have to go back to mix my php with HTML and just use dynamic &quot;include()&quot; statements instead. That would be a real shame because I reckon the PEAR stuff is really good and I would really like to make use of it. I am sure what I am trying to do can be done.... just don't know how.

Have you checked for case sensitivity?

Or the path to the INCLUDE()d file?

Should that be

<!-- INCLUDE {$PAGE} -->

?

Here's an example I've seen in a working script;

include(&quot;./car.php4&quot;

HTH!
