php domdocument vs php-html-generator vs another php html generator class

Hi,

I want to use php to standard html output from several ppl.

I was thinking of using a class similar to php-html-generator found on git ( https://github.com/Airmanbzh/php-html-generator ). Essentially this class would be slightly modified to create bootstrap 4 elements without having to set attributes continually.

Or is it a better idea to use the built-in domdocument class?

Thanks!

HTML PHP

basically, i wanted a way to standardize the html output and if i wanted to use a different css stylesheet i would only have to update the class.

I agree that these are both not preferred but a method to achieve the end goal.

this is a basic idea

class bootstrap_html{
	public $html = '';
	
	function panel( $classes = "primary" , $attr = ''){
		return '
			<div class"panel panel-'.$classes.'" '.$attr.'>
		
		
			</div>
		';
	}
}

Open in new window

then the user would just instantiate the class and use it to generate the content - obviously this is wayyyyyyyy oversimplified but i hope it gets the point across

Hi,

Thank guys

I am more concerned because i am relying on a third party (ie bootstrap) to perform the bulk of the css. If they make major changes like they did from 3 to 4 then rewriting classes/html or adding the old classes to the stylesheets would need to occur.

Is there an approach that could minimize this?

Obviously not relying on a third party is an option
