PHP:
<?php
require_once('classes/Template.php');
// Template path with a trailing slash and extension of template files with a dot prefix.
// This lets you decide where to place your templates and what extension to give them i.e. '.template.php', '.tpl.php'
// or whatever suits your needs.
define('TEMPLATE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates/');
define('TEMPLATE_EXT', '.php');
// Create a home template, with header and footer as sub templates
$home = new Template('home');
$home->message = 'Hello world';
$home->header = new Template('header');
// This is how you set a variable in a sub template. Easy as pie :)
$home->header->title = 'Home Page';
$home->footer = new Template('footer');
$home->render(TRUE);
