Public function of PHPTemplateLayer
$PHPTemplateLayer->block("blockname");
If your template HTML contains block tags, all such blocks will remain hidden unless they are created in your PHP code. Once you have created the block, you can assign variables to it. Every block contained in a template must have a unique name - repititions of blocks in your template will be removed without parsing.
$blockname
(string) (Required)
The tag used in your HTML template to represent this block.
Example of a block that is only displayed if a condition is met.
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- START BLOCK : CONDITIONALBLOCK -->
<p>Thank you *{name}*.Your form has been successfully submitted.</p>
<!-- END BLOCK : CONDITIONALBLOCK -->
</body>
</html>
<?php
include_once("class.PHPTemplateLayer.inc.php");
$PHPTemplateLayer = new PHPTemplateLayer();
$PHPTemplateLayer->prepare("template.htm");
$name = "Dave";
if($name == "Dave")
{
$PHPTemplateLayer->block("CONDITIONALBLOCK");
$PHPTemplateLayer->assign("name",$name);
}
$PHPTemplateLayer->display();
