PHP Templates: Revisited Page 3

Dynamic

This is a bit long. I made this as function because I once tried copy-pasting this code again and again, into a different application, but now I’ve just included it in a class, making call just its class and its function. This is a bit complicated I think. This will parse the date, author and title field.

<?php
function DynamicRows($Prefix="", $LoadTemplate="", $RowName="", $RowValue="")
{
        // start loopings
        $tcontent = $LoadTemplate;
        $startlist = strpos($tcontent,"<!--%".$Prefix."_BEGIN_MESSAGE_LIST%-->");
        $endlist = strpos($tcontent,"<!--%".$Prefix."_END_MESSAGE_LIST%-->")+28;
        $listline = substr($tcontent,$startlist+30,$endlist-$startlist-58);
        $listlinetoreplace = substr($tcontent,$startlist,$endlist-$startlist);
        $startlistloop = strpos($tcontent,"<!--%".$Prefix."_ML_LOOPBEGIN%-->");
        $endlistloop = strpos($tcontent,"<!--%".$Prefix."_ML_LOOPEND%-->")+22;
        $listloop = 
        substr($tcontent,$startlistloop+24,$endlistloop-$startlistloop-46);
        $beforeloop = substr($listline,0,strpos($listline,"<!--%".$Prefix."_ML_LOOPBEGIN%-->"));
        $afterloop = substr($listline,strpos($listline,"<!--%".$Prefix."_ML_LOOPEND%-->")+22);
        $newmsgs = 0;
        for($i=0;$i<count($headers);$i++) {
            if(!$headers[$i]["read"]) $newmsgs++;
            $msglist .= eregi_replace("<!--%POLERIODUMMY%-->","Polerio",$beforeloop);
            $start_pos=0;$end_pos=(count($RowValue));
            for($i=$start_pos;$i<$end_pos;$i++) {
                $thisline = "$listlooprn";
                $s_pos=0;$e_pos=count($RowName);
                for($j=$s_pos;$j<$e_pos;$j++) {
                    $thisline = eregi_replace($RowName[$j],$RowValue[$i][$j],$thisline);
                }
            }
            $msglist .= $thisline;
        } // end for
        $msglist .= $afterloop;
        $tcontent = substr($tcontent,0,$startlist).$msglist.substr($tcontent,$endlist,strlen($tcontent));
        // end loopings
        return $tcontent;
