Default Loop through text files.

I want to make a "template" set (outside of vB), where the HTML is stored in text files and evaluated thereafter.
However, I have no idea how to go about looping through the text file.
Can anyone suggest any ideas?
Possibly Xenon since you're the only PHP expert online?

Dave.

Err no, xenon isn't the only PHP expert around here: just check out all the hack makers, and you'll get a rough idea of who the "PHP experts" really are

Some quick instructions on how to go about doing this:

Place your text files in a database (you can use phpMyAdmin to insert the text files, just take a look at how vBulletin templates are).

Take a look at how the function gettemplate is. (/forum/admin/functions.php) That's what vB uses to get the templates from the database. You can copy and paste from
PHP Code:
// ###################### Start gettemplate ####################### 
until the next comment line (has several #s)
if you want, and see how that works out (be sure to change the table/column names to wherever your templates are stored.)

Then, find in functions.php
PHP Code:
// ###################### Start dooutput ####################### 
and copy and paste from there until the next comment line (it has several #s)

Then, in the actual PHP page where you want to echo the text files, type something like:

PHP Code:
<?php

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('templatename')."\");");

?>
That's all there is to it!

If you don't understand it, then I suggest you start with something a little more simpler first

Dude in the dooutput function it seems to show another function called dovars, which completely looses me.
Besides.
At what part of dooutput does it loop through the text file to get the lines of HTML needed to insert into the DB, which as the function gettemplate shows, it selects the template from the DB.
Where's the "inserting it into the DB"?

Dave.

Make a table named template, with at least these two columns:
  • title
  • template

Insert template title name in title, and the actual template in template.
