Yaf_View_Simple::render

Description

Renders a template and returns the result as a string. The template is included as a plain PHP script, so any PHP code in it is executed, and assigned variables are available under their names.

Parameters

tpl

The path to the template, relative to the template directory set by Yaf_View_Simple::setScriptPath or application.view.directory.

vars

Optional variables to assign for this render; they override assigned variables with the same name.

Return Values

The rendered result as a string, or false on failure.

Examples

Yaf_View_Simple::render example

<?php
class ProductController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract
{
    public function detailAction()
    {
        /* render the template and post-process the result */
        $html = $this->getView()->render("product/detail.phtml", array(
            "name"  => "Yaf in Action",
            "price" => "29.90",
        ));

        $this->getResponse()->setBody($html);
        return false; // skip auto-rendering
    }
}
?>

Template example

<h1><?php echo $name; ?></h1>
<p>Price: <?php echo $price; ?> EUR</p>

The above example will output something similar to:

<h1>Yaf in Action</h1>
<p>Price: 29.90 EUR</p>
