Minimal Templates

function template($templatefile, $variables)
{
  $tpl = file_get_contents($templatefile, FILE_TEXT);
  $keys = preg_replace('/^(.*)$/', '%%1%%', array_keys($variables));
  $vals = array_values($variables);
  $repl = str_replace($keys, $vals, $tpl);
  return preg_replace('/%%[^% ]+?%%/', '--', $repl);
}
