Is this a Composite View?

[MikeShank]

I'm trying to get a handle on the CompositView pattern, I think I have it, but maybe not

require_once(MAIN_LIB.'/html/class.TemplateBuilder.php');

abstract class View{
    public $template;

    function renderView(){
        return $this->template->getParsedTemplate();
    }
}

class DefaultModuleView extends View {

    function __construct(){
        $this->template = new TemplateBuilder("defaultView.html");
        $this->setDefaults();
    }
    
    function set($tag, $value){
        $this->template->assign($tag, $value);
    }

    function setDefaults(){
        $this->template->assign('<header>', 'This is the header content');
    }

}

class ConfirmView extends DefaultModuleView {

    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    function assignConfirmation($message)    {
        $this->template->assign('<content>', $message);
    }

}

class MenuView extends View {

    function __construct($links){
        $this->template = new TemplateBuilder("defaultMenu.html");
        $this->buildMenu($links);
    }

    function buildMenu($links)
    {
        foreach ($links as $link){
            $menu .= $link."<br>";
        }
        
        $this->template->assign('<menu>', $menu);
    }
}

abstract class BaseController{
    abstract function execute();
    abstract function getView();
}

class ConfirmationPageController extends BaseController {

    protected $view;

    function __construct(){}

    function execute()
    {
        $menu = new MenuView(array("Link1", "Link2", "Link3", "Link4"));
        
        $view = new ConfirmView();
        $view->set('<leftMenu>', $menu->renderView() );
        $view->assignConfirmation("This Worked!");

        $this->view = $view;
    }

    function getView()
    {
        return $this->view;
    }

}

$controller = new ConfirmationPageController();
$controller->execute();

$view = $controller->getView();
echo $view->renderView();

It looks like a composite view to me.

I use the Composite View also, and find that it works well for what I need to do.

If you do a search on my postings, going back a bit you'll find various examples and the now current version of what I use just now, though unfortunately I can't repost the script for you
