Print Command Shortcuts

Developers will tend to use the following PHP Print methods fairly often in the template include files:

• print($strSomeString)
• print(htmlentities($strSomeString))
• print(QApplication::Translate($strSomeString))
• print(QApplication::LocalizeInteger($intSomething)) (not yet implemented)
• print(QApplication::LocalizeFloat($fltSomething)) (not yet implemented)
• print(QApplication::LocalizeCurrency($fltSomething)) (not yet implemented)

Because of this, QCubed has defined several global PHP functions which act as shortcuts to these specific commands:

• _p($strSomeString, $blnHtmlEntities = true) - will print the passed in string. By default, it will also perform QApplication::HtmlEntities first. You can override this by setting $blnHtmlEntities = false.
• _t($strSomeString) -- will print a translated string via QApplication::Translate
• _i($intSomething)
• _f($fltSomething)
• _c($fltSomething)

Please note: these are simply meant to be shortcuts to actual QCubed functional calls to make your templates a little easier to read. By no means do you have to use them. Your templates can just as easily make the fully-named method/function calls.
