Can I capture a rendered template to a variable?

[TalkVirginia]

I'd like to either echo it to the screen or write it to a file. If I can do this, I should be able to save it to a variable.

Anyone?

Sure.

PHP Code:

$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('someTemplate');
    $newTemplate->register('variable1', $somearray);
    $newTemplate->register('variable2', $variabletwo);
$myvariable = $newTemplate->render(); 

Then register that variable for use in the template you want to use it in.

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('TEMPLATE', array('myvariable' => $myvariable));
