  • A good question. You could take a look how Smarty does it and I'd like to know it as well :) – Ignas Dec 13 '11 at 09:25

A simple way of doing this is enabling output buffering, including the php file (which lets it do its thing), end output buffering and saving the result in a file. Something along the lines of

ob_start();
include("foobar.php");
$temp .= ob_get_clean();
file_put_contents('foo.tpl', $temp);

  • well .. i already manage to run the script before.. its just that im looking for a better way to write my code above.. instead of echo my php tag inside a php tag – li9ht Dec 13 '11 at 09:42
  • This was really hard to read out of your question, and i'd suggest you to rewrite and rethink your initial question. – Jan Dragsbaek Dec 13 '11 at 09:44
  • sorry..english is not my first language..it just that may be im bad at explaining things.. may be its clearer with an example... im creating a bake function like cakephp for codeigniter.. the code that i post is a template file .im looking for a better way to write the template file – li9ht Dec 13 '11 at 09:47
