sebastianbergmann/php-text-template

This system is a PHP library providing a simple template engine that loads files and performs string substitution using configurable delimiters. It includes custom exception classes for error handling and is supported by a comprehensive test suite and static analysis tooling. The project maintains a standard PHPUnit structure with automated release note extraction capabilities.

Introduces a new \Template\ class in \src/Template.php\ that loads a template file (or its \.dist\ fallback) and performs simple string replacement using configurable open and close delimiters. Users can set variables via \setVar()\ and render the result as a string or write it directly to a target file via \renderTo()\.

The library now includes a dedicated set of exception classes within the \SebastianBergmann\\Template\ namespace. A new \Exception\ interface extends \Throwable\, serving as the base for specific error types: \InvalidArgumentException\ and \RuntimeException\. This allows consumers to catch template-specific errors distinctly from general PHP exceptions.

The repository has been initialized with a standard PHPUnit project structure, including source and test directories, a BSD 3-Clause license, and a CHANGELOG documenting versions from 1.0.0 through 6.0.0. Development tooling is configured via PHP-CS-Fixer, PHPUnit, and PHPStan (level 10), with build automation managed by Ant and dependency updates handled by Renovate. The project has officially dropped support for PEAR in favor of Composer, removing legacy package.xml and README.markdown files, and establishes a security policy aligned with PHPUnit.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

A new PHP script, \build/scripts/extract-release-notes.php\, has been added to the build tooling. This utility reads the \ChangeLog.md\ file and extracts the section corresponding to a specific version tag provided as an argument, outputting the release notes for that version. This supports the automated release process by providing a programmatic way to retrieve changelog entries for tagged releases.

The legacy Text\_Template class has been removed from the codebase. This class previously provided a simple template engine that loaded templates from files, allowed setting variables via setVar, and rendered output using simple {variable} placeholders. Users relying on this specific class for template processing will need to migrate to an alternative solution.

Added a new test suite (TemplateTest) that verifies the Template class can render variables from template files, merge multiple variable sets, and correctly throws an exception when a non-existent template is requested. The test suite uses PHPUnit attributes and includes the necessary fixture files.

The project's \composer.json\ now requires PHP 8.4 and updates the development dependency \phpunit/phpunit\ to version ^13.3.4. Additionally, the PHPStan tooling in \tools/.phpstan/composer.json\ has been upgraded to PHPStan ^2.2.14, along with its extensions \phpstan-strict-rules\ (^2.0.12) and \ergebnis/phpstan-rules\ (^2.13.1).

(dependencies) · high confidence

The \tools/.phpstan\ directory has been updated to use PHPStan version 2.2.14, along with \phpstan-strict-rules\ 2.0.12 and \ergebnis/phpstan-rules\ 2.13.1. This upgrade brings the latest static analysis capabilities and rule sets to the project's local development environment, ensuring that code quality checks reflect the most recent standards and bug fixes provided by these libraries.
