html template files to populate php variables

Question

I am creating custom pages in phpbb and do not understand

<table class="table1" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
    <th>ID</th>
    <th>NAME</th>
    <th>{L_EMAIL}</th>
</tr>
<!-- BEGIN block_name -->
<tr class="<!-- IF block_name.S_ROW_COUNT is even -->bg1<!-- ELSE -->bg2<!-- ENDIF -->">
    <td>{block_name.ID}</td>
    <td>{block_name.NAME}</td>
    <td>{block_name.EMAIL}</td>
</tr>
<!-- END block_name -->

I do not understand the following

    <th>ID</th>
    <th>NAME</th>
    <th>{L_EMAIL}</th>

Where is it getting its values, and how values are sent to such files.
Where can I find some examples?

that's not php. it's maybe a templating engine built on TOP of php, but that's not php. — Marc B

First of all i would like to tell you that its the plain html, the {L_NAME} is getting replaced from you PHP script. It works something like this:-

Step1: my_html_file.html

First of the below written code is HTML. The purpose of writing {L_NAME} is to replace the {L_NAME} with the user's last name with any PHP variable's value.

<th>ID</th>
<th>NAME</th>
<th>{L_EMAIL}</th>

Step2: my_php_file.php

Now you can use the following code to replace the {L_NAME} like this:-

$name = 'Dinesh Singh Rawat';
$html_content = file_get_contents('my_html_file.html');
echoh $newStr = str_replace('{L_NAME}', $name, $html_content);

OUTPUT:

ID NAME DINESH SINGH RAWAT

Hope you are getting.
