xiphe/html

PHP-based HTML Markup generator

README

The main benefits are:

  • no switching between php and html or echoing of html strings needed when you are inside your php stuff.
  • Minimalistic usage attempt and helper functions. You should be able to generate more html markup with less php instructions while keeping full flexibility.
  • Auto-indention. Unless you turn it of to save whitespace you will receive beautifully indented and super-readable markup for your web-projects.

The main downfalls are:

  • Page generation takes longer, because every html-tag will run through a lot of php functions while being generated.
    (I use it along with wordpress and can not make a humanly noticeable difference in page loading speed when changing from a default wp-theme to one that uses the generator.)
  • It may be difficult to learn how to use this, compared to writing pure html.

This project is inspired by the CakePHP HtmlHelper.

Installation

Wordpress

  1. Download the latest "alldeps" branch
  2. Extract the archive and upload the plugin into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your wordpress project.
  3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Standalone

Use composer and require "xiphe/html": "2.0.*"

or download the latest "alldeps" branch, extract it and put it anywhere in your php project. Then include [path to]/bootstrap.php or [path to]/vendor/autoload.php.

Basic Usage

Follow the Installation steps to initiate the global $HTML variable.

<?php
/* Get access to an instance of Xiphe\HTML */
global $HTML

/* Opens a std HTML5 header - leaves you inside the <head> */
$HTML->HTML5()
	/* print a <title> */
	->title('HTML Example')
/* close the <head> tag */
->close('head')
/* open a <body> tag (s_[tag] will just open a [tag] - no </tag> will be echoed) */
->s_body()
	/* open a <div> tag with the class attribute "wrap" */
	->s_div('.wrap')
		/* open an <article> tag with an id */
		->s_article('#article1')
			/* print a <h1> with multiple attributes */
			->h1('Hello Stranger', array('style' => 'color: red;', 'rel' => 'title'))
			/* <3 */
			->p('Thank you for checking out Xiphe\HTML - that\'s very kind of you')
			/* Another way to pass multiple attributes to a tag */
			->img('src=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Example_image.png|alt=example')
/* close all Tags that have been opened previously */
->close('all');

Output:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html class="no-js">
	<head>
		<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
		<meta content="IE=edge,chrome=1" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" />
		<title>HTML Example</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div class="wrap">
			<article id="article1">
				<h1 rel="title" style="color: red;">Hello Stranger</h1>
				<p>Thank you for checking out Xiphe\HTML - that's very kind of you</p>
				<img alt="example" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Example_image.png" />
			</article><!-- #article1 -->
		</div><!-- .wrap -->
	</body>
</html><!-- .no-js -->
