Description:
------------
getFile() using fread() does not always get entire file, but sometimes only returns 8192 characters. Perhaps using fread() in a loop or get_file_contents() would resolve.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

require_once "HTML/Template/IT.php";
require_once "MDB2.php";

$template = new HTML_Template_IT('./test');

$dsn = "mssql://user:passwd@host/db";
$dbh = MDB2::factory($dsn);

$query = <<<EOQUERY
select *
from person
where lastname like ?
order by lastname, firstname
EOQUERY;

$sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
$res = $sth->execute('A%');
$results = $res->fetchRow();

$content = $template->getFile('templatefile.tpl');
print "Contents = " . strlen($content);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Contents = 8207

Actual result:
--------------
Contents = 8192

Can you give me additional information. Are you sure that the file is in your template root directory ?
I cannot reproduce the bug.

The problem apparently has to do with MDB2 and $sth->execute() using a placeholder. Works fine if the query parameter is hard-coded in the query. I read about similar problems using fread() after opening a "userspace stream".

You can chop out all the HTML_Template_IT code and add at the bottom:

$fp = fopen('./test/templatefile.tpl');
$content = fread($fp, filesize('./test/templatefile.tpl');
print "Contents = " . strlen($content);

Something in MDB2's execute() is causing fread()'s output to be limited to 8192 chars.

Works perfectly for me, I created a template file with 9022 bytes and tried you script, but with mysql as I don't have access to a mssql server. But furthermore, if it's really a bug, it's not a HTML_Template_IT bug (Bogus for me).
