Creating your first HTML service request

This example shows a request which returns a HTML formatted response using an HTML/PHP template. This request could be called by when a partial or full web page is expected in response. It could be used to load an entire web page or be used as a content block in another web page.

Test the example: http://kerkness.ca/kerkdemo/hello.universe

Example 2

If you haven’t already create the directory kerk/modules/hello

Inside the ‘hello’ directory create the file ‘universe.php’ and add the following to it.

<?php

 // Tell kerkness that this request should return an HTML response
  $kerk->setResponseFormat('HTML');

  // Set the template for this request
  $kerk->setTemplate( 'hello.universe' );

  // Add some content to the request object
  $kerk->addContent('myVar', 'Hello Universe');

?>

Create the director kerk/templates/hello

Inside the ‘kerk/templates/hello’ directory create the file ‘universe.php’ and add the following to it

<b>This is the template for hello.universe</b><br/>
<?php print $myVar ?>

Now you can make a request for this service by calling http://kerkness.ca/kerkdemo/hello.universe and see the following response:
