It can get confusing because a PAD tag can be so many things, to solve this, use a prefix that gives the tag type. HTML RESULT <h3>From an pad tag</h3> {pad:foo} From an pad tag Foo tag from pad <h3>From an application tag </h3> {app:foo} From an application tag Foo tag from app <h3>From the {content} tag </h3> {content:foo} From the {content} tag This is from content <h3>From a PHP function !</h3> {php:foo} From a PHP function ! This is a function <h3>From an own PAD function </h3> {function:foo} From an own PAD function From an own function <h3>From an defined bool</h3> {bool:foo} Bool 'foo' is true @else@ Bool 'foo' is false {/bool:foo} From an defined bool Bool 'foo' is true <h3>From a PHP array</h3> {array:foo} {$foo} <br> {/array:foo} From a PHP array This is a PHP array - 1 This is a PHP array - 2 This is a PHP array - 3 <h3>A defined constant</h3> {constant:foo} {$foo} <br> {/constant:foo} A defined constant This is a constant - 1 This is a constant - 2 This is a constant - 3 <h3>From the {data} tag</h3> {data:foo} {$foo} <br> {/data:foo} From the {data} tag This is a json array - 1 This is a json array - 2 This is a json array - 3 <h3>From the local _data directory</h3> {local:foo} {$foo} <br> {/local:foo} From the local _data directory From the _data directory - 1 From the _data directory - 2 From the _data directory - 3 <h3>From the local _scripts directory</h3> {script:foo} From the local _scripts directory Hello from foo.py The list with PAD tag types action   app   array   bool   common   constant   content   data   field   flag   function   include   keep   level   local   make   pad   php   property   pull   remove   script   select   sequence   Extra files used PHP PAD OTHER _functions/foo.php <?php return "From an own function"; ?> _scripts/foo.py #!/usr/bin/env python3 import sys import os me = sys.argv[1:] print ( "Hello from", os.path.basename(__file__) ) _tags/foo.php <?php return "Foo tag from app"; ?> prefix/_data/foo.xml <xml> <line foo="From the _data directory - 1" /> <line foo="From the _data directory - 2" /> <line foo="From the _data directory - 3" /> </xml> prefix/_lib/foo.pad {content 'foo'} This is from content {/content} {data 'foo'} [ { "foo": "This is a json array - 1" }, { "foo": "This is a json array - 2" }, { "foo": "This is a json array - 3" } ] {/data} {bool 'foo'}1{/bool} prefix/_lib/foo.php <?php function foo () { return "This is a function"; } $foo = [ 'This is a PHP array - 1', 'This is a PHP array - 2', 'This is a PHP array - 3' ]; define ( 'foo', [ 'This is a constant - 1', 'This is a constant - 2', 'This is a constant - 3' ] ); ?>
