Combining inheritance and composition

Open ejunker opened this issue 15 years ago • 1 comments

Is there a way to use the old-style composition of having a separate header and footer file with inheritance? I want to create a base layout and include a header and footer where the header may have blocks in it and the base layout file also has blocks in it.

Here is an example:

base.php

<?php
  require_once 'ti.php';
  include 'header.php';
  emptyblock('content');
  include 'footer.php';
?>

header.php

<html>
  <head>
    <?php emptyblock('head') ?>
  </head>
  <body>

footer.php

  </body>
</html>

page.php

<?php include 'base.php' ?>

<?php startblock('head') ?>
  This is in the head
<?php endblock() ?>

<?php startblock('content') ?>
  This is the content
<?php endblock() ?>

After the content

The output for page.php is:

This is the head After the content

As you see it has problems when it encounters the emptyblock('content') in base.php. If I comment out the emptyblock('content') I get this output:

This is the head

  </body>
</html>
After the content

This time it was able to render the footer.

Is there anyway to get the first example to work or is phpti not designed to handle that case?

hmm, when i made the blockbase() function, i thought i had this scenario in mind, but after testing, it doesnt work (i tried putting blockbase() right after the require_once for ti.php)

i'll try to get this working in the next version. thanks
