# PhpTemplateEngine

final class in quittio/core · implements [`TemplateEngine`](https://quittio.dev/docs/api/Quittio/Core/Templates/TemplateEngine)

`Quittio\Core\Templates\PhpTemplateEngine` · [Source](https://github.com/Quittio/quittio/blob/v0.7.1/packages/core/src/Templates/PhpTemplateEngine.php#L22)

Plain PHP templates for use without Laravel.

A template is a PHP file that receives $invoice (view model) and $e (escape function). The name "default" refers to the template shipped with the core.

Template names are never file paths: "custom" or "invoices/modern" resolve to "{path}/{name}.php" inside one of the configured directories (or the shipped templates), so a name from a request or from invoice data cannot include an arbitrary file.
