Basic Example

Here I'll show you an simple example holding many basic features

First we write the PHP script

<?php
 //define two custon function, the first
//returns a simple text
//the second one get one parameter
// and returns it.
function foo()
{
return("text from foo");
}
function foop($text)
{
return("my parameter:".$text);
}
require_once('sptpl.php');
require_once('sptpl.inc');
require_once('sptpl_db.php');
$t=new sptpl();
 //Load the configuration file
 $t->LoadTemplate('test1.xml');
$t->SetVar("name","George");
$t->SetVar("MyName","Sam");
 //Here the example how to set an array
 $bar['foo']='Index foo';
$t->SetVar("bar",$bar);
$t->run("test1.txt");
?>

Second step, write the configuration file test1.xml

<?xml version='1.0' ?> <template>


<template>
 <!-- Define the const1 with value 1
and const2 with value 2 -->
 <constant name='const1' value = '1'/>
 <constant name='const2' value = '2'/>
  <report>
 <!-- Set the welcome message -->
   <beginreport>
Hi

My second test
  </beginreport>
 <!-- The open page will be printed on the top of all page -->
   <OpenPage>
Page header.
  </OpenPage>
 <!-- In the following row I print the contents of the variable $name and $MyName that was set by the PHP script -->
   <row id='pippo'>
Hello {$name}, my name is {$MyName}
  </row>
 <!-- The following row shows how print the array contents-->
   <row id='second'>
I'm the index 'bar' of foo {$bar['foo']}
  </row>
 <!-- Now we get the text to print from the custom function
foo or foop-->
   <row>
Output from the function foo: {foo()}
  </row>

  <row>
Function with one parameter: {foop('hello world')}
  </row>
 <!-- Row position. We print the following row two row after the last printed one -->
   <row VPos='Relative' RowPos='+2'>
2 row after 'Function with one parameter'
  </row>
 <!-- We are able to move back. We print the following row two row before the last printed one -->
   <row VPos='Relative' RowPos='-2'>
Before the last one
  </row>
 <!-- The following text will be printed at row 20 -->
   <row VPos='absolute' RowPos='20'>
At line 20
  </row>
 <!-- Change page, the text will be the first on the new page -->
   <row VPos='NewPage'>
New page, First Line!!!
  </row>
 <!-- Another method to change page. Note, the module changes the page automatically when it reach the page end. This tag allow you to force the new page -->
   <newpage/>
   <row>Another page</row>

  <row vpos='absolute' rowpos='5'/>

  <closepage>
Page end
  </closepage>
  <closereport>
End!That's all folk!
  </closereport>


 </report>
