Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies. I Think I haven't been very clear about what I
really need. First of all, I don't need an existing templating system,
because I am working on my own templating system.
And regarding Satyam's post. This looks a lot like what I'm developing
right now, but also not my issue =)
What I really need is a fast lookup mechanism, to 'translate' statements.
For example:
setOutputType('xhtml');
echo(translate('authorstart'));
the function translate opens xhtml.data, which contains:
authorstart : <span class="author">
authorend : </span>
so, the translate function looks 'authorstart' up and returns '<span
class="author">'
or if you had specified 'wml' as the outputtype, the file could like like:
authorstart : <b>
authorend : </b>
and the function would return '<b>'
This is all no problem, except that these lists can be pretty big. And I
wouldn't like to load them all into the memory, or have to loop through
the file every time translate is called.
So I need a very fast mechanism to overcome this problem.
Any ideas?
grt,
Evert
