[support] Templating in Drupal 5.1 - the cleanest way to do it?

[Larry Garfield]

#################################################
module code - mymod.php
#################################################

function mymod_foo() {
  $data = array('foo' => 'bar');
  return theme('foo_or_something', $data);
}

function theme_foo_or_someting($data) {
  return "something you do with $data that generates a string";
}

#################################################
template.php code
#################################################

function phptemplate_foo_or_something() {
  return _phptemplate_callback('foo_or_something', $data);
}


#################################################
foo_or_something.tpl.php
#################################################

<h1>I want to output value of $foo here</h1>

(In this case $foo will have a value of 'bar').

Cheers.
