creates PHP code to echo a variable, with optional modifier. Modifiers are

• No Modifier - does htmlspecialchars($variable)

• :h - echos without any change - eg. raw

• :u - echos urlencode($variable)

by default variables are assumed to have calling scope, and are prefixed with $t->, however if they are inside a loop (foreach), then the variables created by the loop are added to the scope and the prefix is not added.

Accessing object variables can be done using a dot as separator: {object.property}, calling methods is identical: {object.method()}.

Example

 $this->a = "hello >>"; $template->outputObject($this);

 {a} {a:h} {a:u}

 <?php echo htmlspecialchars($t->a); ?> <?php echo $t->a; ?> <?php echo urlencode($t->a); ?>

 hello >> hello >> hello+%3E%3
