<h1>Template Parser Class</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The Template Parser Class enables you to parse pseudo-variables contained within your view files. It can parse simple
|
||
|
|
variables or variable tag pairs. If you've never used a template engine, pseudo-variables look like this:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code><html><br />
|
||
|
|
<head><br />
|
||
|
|
<title><kbd>{blog_title}</kbd></title><br />
|
||
|
|
</head><br />
|
||
|
|
<body><br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
<h3><kbd>{blog_heading}</kbd></h3><br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
<kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd><br />
|
||
|
|
<h5><kbd>{title}</kbd></h5><br />
|
||
|
|
<p><kbd>{body}</kbd></p><br />
|
||
|
|
<kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd><br />
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</body><br />
|
||
|
|
</html></code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>These variables are not actual PHP variables, but rather plain text representations that allow you to eliminate
|
||
|
|
PHP from your templates (view files).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> CodeIgniter does <strong>not</strong> require you to use this class
|
||
|
|
since using pure PHP in your view pages lets them run a little faster. However, some developers prefer to use a template engine if
|
||
|
|
they work with designers who they feel would find some confusion working with PHP.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Also Note:</strong> The Template Parser Class is <strong>not</strong> a
|
||
|
|
full-blown template parsing solution. We've kept it very lean on purpose in order to maintain maximum performance.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Parser class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$this->load->library('parser');</code>
|
||
|
|
<p>Once loaded, the Parser library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->parser</dfn></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The following functions are available in this library:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>$this->parser->parse()</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This method accepts a template name and data array as input, and it generates a parsed version. Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$this->load->library('parser');<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$data = array(<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading'<br />
|
||
|
|
);<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The first parameter contains the name of the <a href="../general/views.html">view file</a> (in this example the file would be called blog_template.php),
|
||
|
|
and the second parameter contains an associative array of data to be replaced in the template. In the above example, the
|
||
|
|
template would contain two variables: {blog_title} and {blog_heading}</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There is no need to "echo" or do something with the data returned by <dfn>$this->parser->parse()</dfn>. It is automatically
|
||
|
|
passed to the output class to be sent to the browser. However, if you do want the data returned instead of sent to the output class you can
|
||
|
|
pass TRUE (boolean) to the third parameter:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$string = $this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data, TRUE);</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Variable Pairs</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The above example code allows simple variables to be replaced. What if you would like an entire block of variables to be
|
||
|
|
repeated, with each iteration containing new values? Consider the template example we showed at the top of the page:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code><html><br />
|
||
|
|
<head><br />
|
||
|
|
<title><kbd>{blog_title}</kbd></title><br />
|
||
|
|
</head><br />
|
||
|
|
<body><br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
<h3><kbd>{blog_heading}</kbd></h3><br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
<kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd><br />
|
||
|
|
<h5><kbd>{title}</kbd></h5><br />
|
||
|
|
<p><kbd>{body}</kbd></p><br />
|
||
|
|
<kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd><br />
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</body><br />
|
||
|
|
</html></code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the above code you'll notice a pair of variables: <kbd>{blog_entries}</kbd> data... <kbd>{/blog_entries}</kbd>.
|
||
|
|
In a case like this, the entire chunk of data between these pairs would be repeated multiple times, corresponding
|
||
|
|
to the number of rows in a result.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Parsing variable pairs is done using the identical code shown above to parse single variables,
|
||
|
|
except, you will add a multi-dimensional array corresponding to your variable pair data.
|
||
|
|
Consider this example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$this->load->library('parser');<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$data = array(<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading',<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_entries' => array(<br />
|
||
|
|
array('title' => 'Title 1', 'body' => 'Body 1'),<br />
|
||
|
|
array('title' => 'Title 2', 'body' => 'Body 2'),<br />
|
||
|
|
array('title' => 'Title 3', 'body' => 'Body 3'),<br />
|
||
|
|
array('title' => 'Title 4', 'body' => 'Body 4'),<br />
|
||
|
|
array('title' => 'Title 5', 'body' => 'Body 5')<br />
|
||
|
|
)<br />
|
||
|
|
);<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If your "pair" data is coming from a database result, which is already a multi-dimensional array, you can simply
|
||
|
|
use the database result_array() function:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM blog");<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$this->load->library('parser');<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$data = array(<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading',<br />
|
||
|
|
'blog_entries' => $query->result_array()<br />
|
||
|
|
);<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
