PHP template engine based on regular expressions.
Create engine instance and set array of variables to parsing the template:
$variables = array(
"meta" => array(
"title" => "Meta title",
"description" => "Meta description"
),
"articles" => array(
array(
"title" => "Some article",
"created" => time(),
"views" => 4321
),
array(
"title" => "Article title longer then 20 chars",
"created" => time(),
"views" => 62341
)
)
);
$engine = new SimpleTemplate\Engine($variables);
$engine->loadTemplate("template.tpl");
echo $engine->getOutput();<html>

{#title|truncate:20|upper} <!-- prints upper case title truncated to 20 chars -->- upper
- lower
- firstUpper
- firstLower
- truncate (length, append = '…')
- repeat (count)
- date (format)
- number (decimals = 0, dec_point = '.', thousands_sep = ' ')
- round (precision = 0)
- toAscii
- webalize
- bytes (precision = 1)
SimpleTemplate allows using conditions and ternary operators.
{if #articles}
<!-- #articles is not empty -->
{/if}
{if #views > 5000}
<!-- #views is larger than 5000 -->
{/if}
{if #views > #comments}
<!-- #views is larger than #comments -->
{/if}{if #articles}
<!-- #articles is not empty -->
{/if}
{elseif}
<!-- #articles is empty -->
{/elseif}{#articles ? Not empty : Empty#}
{#views > 5000 ? Large than 5000 : Smaller than 5000#}
{#views > #comments ? Large than comments : Smaller than comments#}SimpleTemplate allows caching templates to cache folder. Cache is enabled by default.
$engine->setCache(true/false);
