php-twig-converter

This little php script is intended to convert at best template files written with the PHPTemplate syntax to Twig syntax.

Usage

You can pass directly content to the script via stdin, it will return the converted template through stdout.

$ cat page.tpl.php | ./php2twig

You can pass file names to the script, it will create a .tpl.twig file at the same location:

$ ls
node.tpl.php page.tpl.php
$ ./php2twig node.tpl.php page.tpl.php
$ ls
node.tpl.php node.tpl.twig page.tpl.php page.tpl.twig

Options

By default when converting files, the PHPTemplate extension is .tpl.php, you can override it with -e:

$ ls
node.template
$ ./php2twig node.template -e ".template"
$ ls
node.template node.tpl.twig

By default when converting files, the new Twig extension is .tpl.twig, you can override it with -ne:

$ ls
node.tpl.php
$ ./php2twig node.tpl.php -ne ".html.twig"
$ ls
node.html.twig node.tpl.php

Demo

$ ./php2twig modules/block/block.tpl.php

<div id="<?php print $block_html_id; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"<?php print $attributes; ?>>

  <?php print render($title_prefix); ?>
<?php if ($block->subject): ?>
  <h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>><?php print $block->subject ?></h2>
<?php endif;?>
  <?php print render($title_suffix); ?>

  <div class="content"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>>
    <?php print $content ?>
  </div>
</div>

will convert to

<div id="{{ block_html_id }} " class="{{ classes }} "{{ attributes }} >

  {{ title_prefix }}
{% if block.subject %}
  <h2{{ title_attributes }} >{{ block.subject}}</h2>
{% endif %}
  {{ title_suffix }}

  <div class="content"{{ content_attributes }} >
    {{ content }}
  </div>
</div>
