adds a closing brace in PHP so that blocks of conditional HTML are shown correctly. You do not need to use {end:} tags if you are using HTML tag attributes like IF="a,b", as the closing HTML tag will indicate that.

Example

Example 26-1. Setting variables for if

class example {     function showDog() {         return true;     }      function output() {                  $this->showStuff = true;                  .........         $template->outputObject($this);     } }

Example 26-2. The template

{if:showStuff}Hello{end:} {if:showDog()}Doggy{end:}

Example 26-3. The compiled template

<?php if ($t->showStuff)  { ?>Hello<?php } ?> <?php if ($t->showDog()) {  ?>Doggy<?php } ?>

Example 26-4. The output

Hello Doggy
