<com:TContent ID="body" > <h1>TStatements</h1> <com:DocLink ClassPath="System.Web.UI.WebControls.TStatements" /> <p> <tt>TStatements</tt> evaluates a sequence of PHP statements and displays the content rendered by the statements. To specify the PHP statements to be evaluated, set the <tt>Statements</tt> property. In a control template, <a href="?page=Configurations.Templates2#st">statement tags</a> are often used instead of the complete <a href="?page=Configurations.Templates1#ct">component tags</a> when the main purpose is to display the result rendered by some PHP statements. For example, the following two tags are equivalent, </p> <com:TTextHighlighter Language="prado" CssClass="source"> <com:TStatements> <prop:Expression> setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y",time()); </prop:Expression> </com:TStatements> <%% setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y",time()); %> </com:TTextHighlighter> <p> <tt>TStatements</tt> evaluates the PHP statements during the rendering control lifecycle. Unlike <tt>TExpression</tt>, <tt>TStatements</tt> only displays the content 'echoed' within the statements. </p> <p> The context of the statements in a <tt>TStatements</tt> control is the control itself. That is, <tt>$this</tt> represents the control object if it is present in the statements. For example, the following statement tag will display the title of the page containing the <tt>TStatements</tt> control. </p> <com:TTextHighlighter Language="prado" CssClass="source"> <%% $page=$this->Page; echo $page->Title; %> </com:TTextHighlighter> <p> Be aware, since <tt>TStatements</tt> allows execution of arbitrary PHP code, in general you should not use it to evaluate PHP code submitted by your application users. </p> <com:RunBar PagePath="Controls.Samples.TStatements.Home" /> </com:TContent>
