===== CachedFastTemplate class =====

<?php

/*
* Class CachedFastTemplate
* by Jesus M. Castagnetto ([email protected])
* (c) 2000. Version 1.0
*
* Description:
* This class extends CDI's ([email protected]) FastTemplate class,
* implementing methods to cache the output to a file. This would be
* useful for cases in which a template is used for both, the static
* pages in a web site, and pages created from PHP scripts. In this
* way we will avoid processing pages that do not change too often.
