Template parser - add some conditions

[eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser]
Most people don't use the template parsing - we just use straight PHP. I'll post some sample code below, but I would like to mention if you don't know what type of file your user has uploaded until it's time to display that file - you may want to look into how you've developed your application a bit. Without knowing about your application it's hard to making recommendations.

Using the alternate syntax since I prefer it in view files:

Code:

<?php if (substr($filename, -3) === 'jpg'): ?>
  <img src="&lt;?php echo $filename; ?&gt;" />
&lt;?php elseif (substr($filename, -3) === 'swf'): ?&gt;
  &lt;object src="&lt;?php echo $filename; ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;/object>
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
