Html Gateway support library

HtmlGateway

A simple Html Gateway library., _(*1)

Usage

PHP is itself a template engine. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I used PHP itself as the template language and wrapped it in design patterns I liked. This package is my favorite design pattern packaged in a nice composer format., _(*2)

There are three core concepts in this pattern, templates, helpers, and post back processing., _(*3)

A template is nothing more than an arbitrary text file wrapped in a PHP class. This lets us use PHP interspersed inside the text. Templates can be included inside templates allowing the text to be built in blocks. If this sounds familiar, it is. This is basically what PHP does. As this template is inside a PHP object it has it’s "scope" set to $this->. It would be very bad practice to use anything outside the scope directly in a template., _(*4)
