Greetings,

HI All, I hope all is well.

I have set up a template parser. Basically, it parses the template
and finds tags with tag_name.dat file and then includes the
tag_name.dat file. I have considered a few other options but as of
now I think I like what I have come up with.

The only problem that I have in my design is that I have to hard code
tables in the dat file mixing php and html. I would prefer to be able
to do something like:

[[tag with db query]]
<table>
<tr><td>colname</td><td>colname</td><td>colname</td></tr>
<tr><td>%var1%</td><Td>%var2%</td><td>%var3%</td></tr>
</table>
[[/tag with db query]]

I would like it to be able to parse the line with the %var1% (which is
the column name with % or some other indicator on each side) in it and
then have it generate how many ever rows as nessecary.

Currently, my parsing engine loads the template, preg_splits() it so
each template tag is on a new line, and then passes through the
resulting array and executes the code for whatever tag is chosen.

There are a couple ideas that I have thought of but have not thought
of any real good way so I am turning to the list.

Thanks for all of your help on this list!
