[Phplib-users] template.inc : Why are blocks parsed over and over again?

[Peter H. <PH...@gm...>]

Hi,

because I am trying to understand how exactly template.inc works, I put
some extra debug-stuff in subst():

if ($this->debug & 4) {
  echo '<b>NOW SHOWING VARKEYS: </b>'.NL;
  foreach ($this->varkeys as $k =3D> $v) echo "KEY: $k --- VAL: $v ".NL;
  echo '<b>NOW SHOWING VARVALS: </b>'.NL;
  foreach ($this->varvals as $k =3D> $v) echo "KEY: $k --- VAL: $v ".NL;
}


(NL is just "<BR>\n")

This showed me, that *each* time I call parse, e.g to parse a block,
ALL variables are processed everytime. Is this a wanted behaviour?

Could somebody explain this?




Have a nice thread,
Peter
