$flexy->bufferedOutputObject() -- Merges a controller object with the template and returns the result
Description
This maps the values of the supplied object and runs the compiled template,
and returns the result.
This can be used in conjuction with PEAR::Cache, or in the example below, with
a email template (note this still needs testing.. - the backend should
eventually support a native tokenizer for email templates.)
Parameter
object $controllerObject -
The object you want to use with the template, the values of the object will
relate to the $controllerObject->tag will map to {tag} on the template
array $elements -
This is an associative array of form, or dynamic elements names (or id's) which will be merged with
the one defined in the template.
Return value
string - the object variables overlayed on the template
Note
This function can not be called
statically.
Example
Example 31-1. Person DataObject send_password method class DataObjects_Person {
var $id;
var $name;
var $password;
var $cleartextPassword;
var $email;
function sendEmail($templateFile,$content) {
$content = is_object($content) ? $content : (object) $content;
foreach(get_object_vars($this) as $k=>$v) {
$content->$k = $v;
}
/* use the regex compiler, as it doesnt parse <tags */
$template = new HTML_Template_Flexy( array(
'compiler' => 'Regex',
'filters' => array('SimpleTags','Mail'),
));
/* compile a text file (email template) */
$template->compile($templateFile);
/* use variables from this object to ouput data. */
$mailtext = $template->bufferedOutputObject($content);
//echo "<PRE>";print_R($mailtext);
/* With the output try and send an email, using a few tricks in Mail_MimeDecode. */
require_once 'Mail/mimeDecode.php';
require_once 'Mail.php';
$decoder = new Mail_mimeDecode($mailtext);
$parts = $decoder->getSendArray();
if (PEAR::isError($parts)) {
return $parts;
}
list($recipents,$headers,$body) = $parts;
$mailOptions = PEAR::getStaticProperty('Mail','options');
$mail = Mail::factory("SMTP",$mailOptions);
return PEAR::isError($mail) ? $mail : $mail->send($recipents,$headers,$body);
}
