Class Template

Class Overview

Template

This Template class is a very simplified templating system. Instead of using a templating language, this templating system using PHP as it's own templating language. The reasons behinds this are that most templating systems implement almost all of PHP in their syntax, so why would be bother learning another language to so the same thing? The concept of this template system is to separate business logic from display logic. That is, the template should be modify any system variables, only display them. It might calculate a grade percentage from the number of questions right divided by the number of questions wrong, but it should never do something like store that number in a datastore.
