Smarty

[anicula]

I have a project with templates that are loading multiple times. (one template is loading 30 times - using {include file="..."}) - my problem is that this is taking some time so I've done some tweaking to the smarty class - "replaced" php include with eval.

1. i've added a new var:
var $nds_cache_include = array();// cache for included files
2.Changed _include function like this:
function _include($filename, $once=false, $params=null){
if ($once) {
return include_once($filename);
} else {
if($this->nds_cache_include["$filename"] == null){
$content = file_get_contents("$filename");
$this->nds_cache_include["$filename"] = $content;
} else{
$content = $this->nds_cache_include["$filename"];
}
return eval('?>' . $content);
//return include($filename);// this was the onld code
}
}

and using _include function where the include(...) was used on fetch function and _smarty_include function

The execution time is 2/3 times faster.
Maybe in the futures someone who know smarty code will do a better job.

PS:I'm a newbie to smarty code = I'm using smarty not changing it, never done a plug in
If there are someone that knows a better solution with the include problem - PLEASE let me know.

i have one better idea. php to include about 100rows file (.tpl files are parsed into ordinary php code) takes a few miliseconds.
evaluating anything takes at least 10 times more... so (my opinion):

do not use eval().
