Simple PHP Templating With Looping

Hey I wrote a very simple template system for our designers to use. Its uses str_replace under the hood to do its thing.

Its works great! The issue now is i'd like do some looping (foreach) on some data passed.

Here's and example of the template code 

$var_c = [
    [
        "head" => "a",
        "body" => "b",
        "foot" => "c"
    ],
    [
        "head" => "x",
        "body" => "y",
        "foot" => "z"
    ]
];

$tpl_vars = [ 
    "__{var_a}__",
    "__{var_b}__",
    "__{var_c}__"
];

$real_vars = [
    $var_a,
    $var_b,
    $var_c
];

str_replace($tpl_vars, $real_vars, $content_body);

Note $var_c contains an array and i'd like to loop through this array. How do i achieve that. For structure i was thinking

__startloop__
 loop var_c as c
  c[head] 
  c[body]
  c[foot]
__endloop__

I cant seem to get my head around how to code this. :)

UPDATE: Twig, smarty and the likes are too big and cumbersome for the work. Its also introduces the learning curve for the designers to adopt a templating language.

See my Text-Template class. It supports conditions (if), loops (for) and filters: https://github.com/dermatthes/text-template

Example template (String in a variable):

Hello {= name},
Your list of Items:
{for curItem in items}
{=@index1}: {= curItem.name}
{/for}

PHP-Code:

<?php
$data = [
    "name" => "Some Username",
    "items" => [
        ["name" => "First Item"],
        ["name" => "Second Item"]
    ]
];
$tt = new TextTemplate ($templateString);
echo $tt->apply ($data);

This should do the job.
