hello,

i need some assistance in improving my template class to allow the use of loops.

currently it does not and i am stuck on getting it to work with loops.

an example of what i want to try:

Code:

the following users have been here for a year or longer: {users}

now thats a very basic example, but i think you get the point.

here is the template class i use, if you need anything else please let me know

PHP Code:

class template

{

  var $page;



  function template($template) {

    if (file_exists($template))

      $this->page = join("", file($template));

    else

      die("Template file $template was not found.");

  }



   function parse($file) {

    ob_start();

    include($file);

    $buffer = ob_get_contents();

    ob_end_clean();

    return $buffer;

  }



  function replace_tags($tags = array()) {

    if (sizeof($tags) > 0){

      foreach ($tags as $tag => $data) {

        $this->page = eregi_replace("{" . $tag . "}", $data,

                      $this->page);

        }

    }else{

      die("No tags designated for replacement.");

    }

  }



  function output() {

    echo $this->page;

  }

} 

much thanks in advance
