PHP - Moved: Multiple Views In The One Layout Cakephp

I've made a template system, but the way I've chosed to do it doesn't give me the ability to choose a design. I've posted the code below with a bad solution for my design problem. Does anyone have any suggestions how to make a very simple and smart templatesystem? I don't have any problems coding. I just need ideas :-)

Code: [Select]
<?php
final class View implements IView {
protected $filename, $variables = array();

public function __construct($filename = null, $variables = array()) {
$this->filename = $filename;
$this->variables = $variables;
}

public function __toString() {
if(!file_exists($this->filename)) {
throw new Exception("View does not exists.");
}

$content = file_get_contents($this->filename);

foreach($this->variables as $variable => $value) {
$content = str_replace("#{{$variable}}", $value, $content);
}

return str_replace("#{content}", $content, file_get_contents("design.html"));
}
}
?>

I have been learning php and have put together a simple site to track vehicle faults and repairs, but now i am trying to transfer it to cakephp framework to make it easier to work with. My problem is that i have 4 tables, the fault and repair a list of vehicles a list of symptoms a list of fault codes. Each repair can have 3 vehicles, 3 symptoms and 3 codes relating to it so i have lookup table to link the fault/repair id to the symptoms, code and vehicles. i have setup basic code for the vehicle , symptom and fault code models like this: public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Fault' =>
array(
'className' => 'Fault',
'joinTable' => 'Faults_vehicles',
'foreignKey' => 'vehicle_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'fault_id'
) 
); and this lets me search for any faults in the faults table with a given vehicle ID, and this works fine. My problem is how can i set it up so i can do a search for faults in the Faults table with a given vehicle ID and a given symptom ID that have a matching Fault code ID. I am very new to php and have only just started using cakephp so sorry in advance if this makes no sense at all. thanks for your time j
