[Htmltmpl] Question regarding PHP version

[Chris B. <ch...@ty...>]

Hey everyone,

New to the list here. I've been using the Perl HTML::Template for 
several years and I was overjoyed to find a PHP version since I'm doing 
a lot of PHP development for my current employer.

I have a question though regarding the ability to get parameter names. 
In the Perl version you can do $template->query() and get a list of the 
token names in the template. Or $template->query(name=>'foo') and get 
the type of token it is (i.e. LOOP, VAR etc.).

I've been digging through the docs of this version and I haven't been 
able to find something similar. Is there an undocumented way I could do 
this?

BTW what I'm trying to do is give a person the ability to assign a 
template token name to different pieces of code without actually editing 
the template itself. So say I have <TMPL_VAR foo>, I want an admin area 
that I can tell 'foo' to point to a certain bit of text in the database, 
or a bit of code that needs to be executed, etc. ... all without 
changing the template file itself. I know it seems a bit backwards so if 
someone has a better idea on how to accomplish something like that I'm 
open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
