Hello.
I got the class below out of a book written by Larry Ullman entitled "PHP Advanced For the World Wide Web." I think that the class is a commonly-used class.
I was wondering if somebody might be familiar with the class.
It works fine on my server hosting. I've just got a shared hosting. It's running PHP Version 4.3.11. The PHP Info page says the build date was Apr 7 2005. I've had the hosting for several months. It looks like the hosting provider, GoDaddy, has periodically updated the version of PHP.
I've read that some of the functionality for PHP 4 will not work with PHP 5. I'm a little bit worried that GoDaddy may upgrade to PHP 5 without notification.
My question is this: Will the class below work with PHP 5? In other words, if the hosting service provider upgrades to PHP 5 will I have to get another Html class rather than use the one below?
Thanks.PHP Code:// This page calls the class, the template, and instantiates the object.
require_once "HtmlTemplateClass.php";
$Page = new HtmlTemplate(); // call the template.
$Page->IdentifyTemplate ("./templates/Template.html"); // identify the template.
// then, call the functions.
$Page->SetParameter ( "CURRENT_DATE", "this is the date<br>" );
$Page->SetParameter ( "MEMBERSHIP_TYPE", "membership type here.<br>" );
$Page->SetParameter ( "PAYMENT_TYPE", "the payment goes here.<br>" );
$Page->SetParameter ( "BUSINESS_CATEGORY", "finally, this is the category" );
$Page->CreatePage();
// --------- HtmlTemplate class ------
class HtmlTemplate {
// Set the attributes.
var $Template;
var $Html;
var $Parameters = array();
function IdentifyTemplate ($Template) { // This function sets which template will be used.
$this->Template = $Template;
}
function SetParameter ($Variable, $Value) { // This function sets the particular values.
$this->Parameters[$Variable] = $Value;
}
function CreatePage () { // This function does the bulk of the work.
$this->Html = implode ("", (file($this->Template))); // Read the template into an array, then create a string.
foreach ($this->Parameters as $Key => $Value) { // Loop through all the parameters and set the variables to values.
$TemplateName = '{'.$Key.'}';
$this->Html = str_replace ($TemplateName, $Value, $this->Html);
}
echo $this->Html;
}
}
// ----- Template.html ------
// Outputs the information on the page.
<html>
<body leftmargin="100" topmargin="150">
{CURRENT_DATE}
{MEMBERSHIP_TYPE}
