Geeklog

In the template class, the variables are substituted with a preg_replace, while all values must be manipulated to avoid 'bogus stripping'.
Following example does the same with a preg_replace_callback and speeds up the processing AND is recursive too. There is no need to neither process nor copying of (huge) arrays of vars and values.
Well, that's tested in my case: having many, many vars.



There is no step for PHP to translate a lot of regexes, just one callback.
One can avoid the recursion when 'substitute' is replaced by 'get_var'.

Always interested in speeding up the template class. Are you able to update the template class with these changes? You could do a pull request on our repository: https://github.com/Geeklog-Core/geeklog

Don't know pull.

The described function is a direct replacement for the function slow_subst.
I'm focussed on recursion, and the caching in template.class is hindering recursion in the logic extension syntax; i.e. if, loop, while. Blocks processing is a headache too.
I'm still experimenting.

Experiment away.

I use a lot of template variables and logic processing in my templates so any speed increase is excellent.

I will be working on Geeklog code again in September. If you have an updated template class by that point I can test and include it with the main code base, if it all checks out. Just remember we need to support PHP 5.6 (and higher).
