I have copied over Dan's templating language example and put it an example
of how modules could be implemented.

**************************
moduleNames.php

<?php
// Define and parse template.
$tmpl = tmpl_define("moduleNames.tmpl");

// Omitted: Query DB or otherwise obtains some results.

// Assign # of results (scalar)
tmpl_assign($tmpl, "num_found", "3");

// Assign the results.  An array of first names and an array of last names.
tmpl_assign($tmpl, "fname", array("Dan", "John", "Homer"));
tmpl_assign($tmpl, "lname", array("Libby", "Doe", "Simpson"));

// Assign a page background color and font.
tmpl_assign($tmpl, array(page_bgcolor => "red",
                         default_font => "arial",
                         default_size => "+2") );

?>


**************************
moduleNames.tmpl

<HTML>
<body bgcolor="{{page_bgcolor}}">
<font face="{{default_font}}" size="{{default_size}}">

found {{num_found}} results.

<TABLE>
<TR><TD>First Name</TD><TD>Last Name</TD></TR>
<!-- Begin list of names -->

{{section:names}}
<TR><TD>{{fname}}</TD><TD>{{lname}}</TD></TR>
{{/section:names}}

<!-- End list of names -->

</TABLE>
</font>
</body>
</HTML>


**************************
addressBook.php

<?php

// Include header file for modules
tmpl_headerFile("modules.inc");

// Print other modules, or whatever else

// If there is a module for First Name, Last Name then print that
// otherwise we do the DB query, php parsing, variable assigning, ....
{:if FIRSTLASTNAME}
  // Retrieve buffer with variables inserted, and print.
  print tmpl_getbuf(FIRSTLASTNAME);
{:else}
  // no module, so do we do what should happen in moduleNames.php
  // like DB query, variable assignment, ...
{/:endif}

?>


**************************

modules.inc

<:defineModule name=FIRSTLASTNAME>
  php: moduleNames.php;
  tmpl: moduleNames.tmpl;
</:defineModule>
