What is Tempo?

TEMPO(acronym for "TEMPlate Object") is a template engine for PHP. A template is an HTML document with variables in it. Tempo template engine provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality. Here is a simple template with one variable ('{?=$name?}');

[code html;gutter:false] <p>Hello {?=$name?}. How are you?</p> [/code]

When a template is parsed, the variables are interpolated to HTML document.

[code html;gutter:false] <table> <tr> <th>column1</th> <th>column2</th> <th>column3</th> </tr> <tr tempo:id="eLoop"> <td>{?=$column1?}</td> <td>{?=$column2?}</td> <td>{?=$column3?}</td> </tr> </table> [/code]

The notation of the block element 'eLoop' and the Zope ZPT is similar(see zope websize).

Installation

Simply copy the class file somewhere where your script can include it, and then include it.

[code php;gutter:false] <?php require_once('somewhere/class.Tempo.php'); . . . ?> [/code]
