The Views extension brings some templating in dev process to separate HTML and PHP which allows to avoid inline HTML.
Instead of using inline HTML blocks in PHP, just use Views.
Installation
edit- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
Views
in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Views/Views.php";
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage
edit- While developing an extension create directory called "views" in your extension folder.
- Place some standard php-templates in this directory, for example: template.php with contents
<div> <p><? echo $a ?></p> </div>
Somewhere in your code call Views:
$data = array( $a => 'hello' );
$html = Views::forge('template', $data);
This will parse template, extract variables and return result into $html variable.
Result will be:
<div> <p>hello</p> </div>
That's it!
