Anything in php like Rails @content_for_layout

[RVince]

I am wondering if there is a means in php to mimic what, in rails, is called
@content_for_layout. Essentially, that tag in rails can be placed in an html
page, and, anytime a page (any page in a project) is to be rendered, the
html page is displayed and the @content_for_layout part is replaced with the
rendered script of the page being called.

Its a nice feature wherein you can retain header, footer, frame, css stuff,
in one spot. Do we have anything like this in php or is anyone aware of
something out there that would essentiually do a similar thing? Thanks,
R.Vince

There's no built-in function for this, but it's easy to write one.
function use_layout($path) {
ob_start(create_function('$c', "
return
str_replace('@content_for_layout',\$c,file_get_con tents('$path',1));
"));
}
To "wrap" some script's output in a layout, just write this at the
beginning of the script:

use_layout('layout_filename.html');
