I've posted before but no one replied because I think it was confusing.
My problem is that I have a website where users have profile pages, and
they can each chooser their own (i.e. blogger.com) Point of this
question is...how can I make a system where template layouts (e.g, 3
column layout, 2 column, vertical, horizontal) can be created for it so
it's scalable and easy to make "templates" for? I just need some
concepts and methods of how to do this PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! this is holding
up a project and i'm REALLYYY getting annoyed with it...

PLEASE give example code...the system I have now is kind of like
this...
/* SOME SQL QUERIES FOR THE $users array, and manipulation */
$t = new template;
$t->_template_path = $template_path; # /core/templates/blue/
$t->_template = $users['template']; # blue.template
$t->_css_file = $users['style_sheet']; # 'template.css'; etc
$t->_meta = $users['meta_tags']; # users keywords, etc
$t->_title = $users['title']; # title of page "Johns page" etc.
$t->_content = $users['content']; # contains the objects/modules they
want in the main body div
$t->_left_content = $users['left_content'] # left div content (if
turned on)
$t->_right_content = $users['right_content'] # right div content (if
turned on)
$t->render(); # draw everything

inside the template class it basically just gets all the .template
files, arranges them in order does some queries and echoes them... I
need help, is this even a good idea? will this be way too slow? is
there a simpler way to do it? HELP!!!!!!!!!
