Re-design $t->p() to return a string rather than print.... now you can nest template files.

<?php
<html> 
<head>
<title>FINAL PHASE PHP NEWS PRO</title>
</head>
<body>


$connection = mysql_connect(\"**************\",\"*********\",\"****************\")
    or die(\"Couldn't execute query: \" . mysql_error());

$db = mysql_select_db(\"blah\", $connection)
    or die(\"Couldn't execute query: \" . mysql_error());

$sql = \"SELECT id, title, author, date, body FROM n_main ORDER BY id DESC\";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection)
    or die(\"Couldn't execute query: \" . mysql_error());

include \"inc/template.inc\";
$t = new Template(\"temp/\");
$detail_lines = \"\";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql_result)) {
    $title = $row[\"title\"];
    $author = $row[\"author\"];
    $date = $row[\"date\"];
    $body = $row[\"body\"];

    // Sets the 2nd template repeat.tpl
    $t->set_file(\"WholeHandle\", \"repeat.tpl\");
    $t->set_var(\"title\", $title);
    $t->set_var(\"author\", $author);
    $t->set_var(\"date\", $date);
    $t->set_var(\"body\", $body);
    $t->parse(\"FinalOutput\", \"WholeHandle\");
    $detail_lines .= $t->p(\"FinalOutput\");
}

// Sets the first template news.tpl
$t->set_file(\"Handle\", \"news.tpl\");
$t->set_var(\"some_color\", $my_color);
$t->set_var(\"detail_lines\", $detail_lines);
$t->parse(\"Output\", \"Handle\");
echo $t->p(\"Output\");

mysql_free_result($sql_result);
mysql_close($connection);


</body>
</html>
?>

news.tmpl should have the table tags, not the repeating template

venom — Tue, 16 Jul 2002 00:01:42 +0000

If I do that then the code will look like this..

Title
Author
Date
Body

{title}
{author}
{date}
{body}

Now I may be wrong but that's not proper html coding or is it?

Repeat.tmp shouldn't include the table tags:

{title}
{author}
{date}
{body}
