twigHow to use Twig with PHP?

Twig is a templating engine for PHP. It allows developers to write HTML templates with a simple syntax that is easy to read and maintain.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('templates');
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);

echo $twig->render('index.html', array('name' => 'Fabien'));

This example code will render the index.html template located in the templates directory, and pass the name variable with the value Fabien to the template.

Code explanation

1. require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; - This line loads the Twig autoloader, which is necessary for Twig to work.
2. $loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('templates'); - This line creates a new Twig loader object, which is used to locate the template files.
3. $twig = new Twig_Environment($loader); - This line creates a new Twig environment object, which is used to render the templates.
4. echo $twig->render('index.html', array('name' => 'Fabien')); - This line renders the index.html template, and passes the name variable with the value Fabien to the template.
