The Savant Template System for PHP

The simple, elegant, and powerful alternative to Smarty.

Template Plugins

To use a plugin in a template script, call it using $this->plugin() or $this->splugin(). The first parameter is always the name of the plugin (such as 'stylesheet' or 'options', and the remaining parameters depend on the specific plugin.

Note: As of Savant 2.3.1 and later, you can use the the plugin name as the method name instead of the plugin() method. For example, instead of $this->plugin('ahref', ...) you can use $this->ahref(...). However, this only works in PHP5.

Savant is packaged with 13 default plugins in the Savant2/ directory:

• General Purpose
  • cycle to cycle through a list of values
  • dateformat to format date and time strings
  • modify to apply a series of functions to a value
• XHTML Tags
  • ahref to create an <a href="..."></a> tag
  • image to place an <img /> tag
  • javascript to create a <script src="..."></script> tag
  • stylesheet to generate a <link /> tag linking to a stylesheet
• Simple XHTML Form Elements
  • checkbox for multiple <input type="checkbox" /> elements
  • input for single <input /> elements
  • options for a series of <option /> elements
  • radios for a series of <input type="radio" /> elements
  • textarea for a <textarea></textarea> element
• Entire XHTML Forms
  • form to automate form creation, layout, and feedback messages

I can't find anywhere to ask for help but here, so here goes.  The plugin
classes are not working for me at all.  I can't figure out the problem. 
Here's the error:

Warning: main(Savant2/Plugin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/var/www/html/usa/include/Savant2/Savant2_Plugin_stylesheet.php on line 6

The wierdest thing is that the file it is trying to open does exist and is
located exactly where it is trying to look.  Any Help?  Thanks,
