Php Ctemplate engine development related content_PHP tutorial

1. Introduction

Maybe you don’t understand Php Ctemplate. When you see this term, you only know that the first half of it is a programming language. It doesn't matter, let me introduce to you this tag template engine based on PHP language (please allow me to translate this web development solution like this, although my translation may not be accurate).

Let’s briefly talk about his history. To understand Php Ctemplate, you must first know Ctempalte; the full name of Ctempalte is Google Ctemplate. It is a simple but very efficient web template engine using C++ language. Let's take a look at a piece of code. If you are smart, you will know how to use it immediately (from the official Demo)

Then the C++ output is:
Hello John Smith
You Have just won (here is the execution of random%100000 random number)
Well, (here is the execution The random number of random%100000 is * 0.83), after taxes
Well, to summarize, after loading the Template object in the c++ source code into the tpl (we can call it a template) file, then fill in the corresponding value in the TemplateDictionary , and finally output. It sounds awkward, right? Simply fill the corresponding value of the backend tag into the {{tag}} of tpl.
For details, please see http://google-ctemplate.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/index.html
What about PHP ctemplate? Everyone knows about PHP extensions. Friends who have played with PHP know about gd, exif, mysql, and mysqli extensions. Yes, it is the dll in the "extension=" in the php.ini file. I concluded that PHP ctemplate uses the format of PHP extension interface to wrap Google Ctemplate, so that PHP has the functions of Google Ctemplate. More generally, it is reflected in the code: the tpl file remains unchanged, but the c++ file is changed into a php file. As for its usage, I don't think I will introduce it much here. It is the same as Google Ctempalte.

2. Is it possible under WIN32?
Perhaps you will quickly realize that this template engine is in line with our common MVC Bar. Yes, that's it. But unfortunately, PHP Ctemplate can only run in the Freebsd system. For PHP in the win32 environment, I have not found the corresponding PHP ctemplate dll on the Internet. I have also consulted the author of PHP ctemplate, and he seems to be reluctant to use it in the win32 environment. Compile these codes; I once tried to compile them with my friend "A-Dai" who develops C++. We found php source code + Ctemplate source code + PHP ctemplate source code and compiled the PHP ctemplate extension under win32, but it was strange that every time PHP started to load When using PHP ctemplate, the php engine will experience an exception and PHP ctemplate cannot be loaded normally.

If php ctemplate is successfully loaded, it will be displayed in phpinfo:

I also looked at the source code of PHP ctemplate and it seems to be written based on Zend. Because I am not very proficient in C++ and PHP, and I really do not have the ability to rewrite this set of extensions, I can only think of a compromise: wrap Ctemplate in ATL COM and simulate the functions and methods of PHP ctemplate.

3.My attempt

The reason why it is so tortuous is that after using this framework, there is no way to debug the PHP code. I tried installing xdebug in the freebsd environment, okay, I can barely do remote debugging. But freebsd does not have a graphical interface. Alas, I had no choice but to install gnome, so I can only do this temporarily. Out of curiosity and dissatisfaction, I wrapped Ctemplate in ATL COM to simulate the functions and methods of PHP ctemplate, but only half of it was completed. I would like to express my special thanks to Comrade "Dumb". Without him, I would not be able to write C++ ATL at all. The following is the method in ATL COM (only part of it is completed).

I packaged the ATL COM function in core.php.

If you are interested, you can ask me for the source code to continue improving it. Because it is COM, ASP can also be used. I will provide the dll for download. If the prawns can successfully compile and use PHP ctemplate under win32, then I would love it even more.
