[PHPTAL] Cache options from PHP

[B. Kamer]

Thanks but,

this would mean that i still need to set caching properties within the  
template... I need to set caching options without a need for special  
markup...

setSource is a phptal method, so something like;

$instance = new PHPTal();

$templateSource = '<tal:block phptal:cache="3h">' .  
file_get_contents($tpl_file) . '</tal:block>';
$instance->setSource($templateSource);
$result = $instance->execute();

but it also seems a bit wierd.
