Confused. How do I use this?

I am at a loss here...
Typically, I use EditPlus on my local machine for html and php rolled into one document.  Then I load my *.php file up to my server and voila!

Do I continue to use Edit Plus locally, but now have 2 documents open -
the html document and the php document?  And somehow, magically, these get rolled into one on the server by including TBS?

I'm sorry, I'm really confused about this.

Hi Val,

Yes that's rigth. The point is that the PHP file (the script) will load the HTML file contents (the template) into a string, and then it will work on this string, and output the result to the client.

Typically, the template is an HTML file, but you can give the extension you want that is no matter. It can be ".html", ".txt", ".tpl", even ".php",...

If your PHP application has several pages, you can also have only one PHP file managing several HTML files.

Thank you!  I'll see if I can do this...

Val, it will be worth the effort, I am new to TBS and am amazed at how much it has sped up and simplified at the same time.
FWIW - here's how I approach converting to TBS
(1) Reorganize existing application page(s)  as follows
(a) remove all echo stmts and stuff results into $vars
(b) move php to top of file, html to bottom
You get the idea.

The above becomes:

Now you're ready...to do TBS
Go through _every_ one of Skrol29's Examples at
  http://www.tinybutstrong.com/examples.php
  (a) pick an example (start at the top, they increase in complexity)
  (b) select each of the "Display" radio buttons, one at a time
  (c) smile as you learn how easy TBS is to use

HTH

Tom, thank you!  i'll work through the examples.
