WebComponent

WebComponent Version 2.0

WebComponent is a simple but flexible and powerfull class written in
PHP 4 (version >= 4.3) that outputs a string (mainly HTML code) to be
displayed in a browser.

It holds a template (given by a plain file or string), and an
associated array of variables (which values could be strings or others
WebComponent objects). The array keys must match with text marks in
the template, and when the "dump" method is invoked, the value of each
variable is replaced in every mark. See the example for more details.

Under a good design, it solves the "developers vs graphical designers
war" problem by leaving each one write their own files: the designer
make only HTML files *with no PHP code*, just with some decided mark
names that will be replaced by the application; and the developer make
only PHP files *with no HTML code*, just handling WebComponent
variables.

The WebComponent class is a Noasol <http://noasol.com> development.
