Hello,
I'm looking for "Template" recomendations for PHP 4, like which one is
popular or has the best/most features.
I'm somewhat of a newbie with PHP and bacame interested in templates via
Wrox's Professional PHP. They were using FastTemplate. The FastTemplate
website gave me the impression it was designed around php3 and maybe hasn't
been updated in a while.
I also ran across patTemplate and Smarty.
Opinions?
Thanks in advance
Don

My opinion is that Smarty rules ... some people think there is too much
'programming'/logic going on in Smarty templates, but I think that as
long as it's logic that is solely concerned with presentation it can be
argued that it belongs in the template.
Some people also dislike the different Smarty syntax, for example:
{foreach from=$array key=key item=value}
instead of
foreach ($array as $key => $value)
But I find that it in fact helps me to keep business logic and template
logic separate.

What about PHP ?-)
Else, the PEAR library has several templating systems. You may also want
to have a look at PHPTal, the PHP implementation of Zope's templates.

If you want to use a templating system that is (a) not tied to PHP and (b)
governed by W3C standards then I suggest you take a look at XSL. In this
method all my PHP scripts do is output the data to an XML file then perform
an XSL Transformation using a predefined XSL stylesheet. I have made my
stylesheets reusable so that I can produce 300+ pages from just 8 XSL files.
For more details take a look at http://www.tonymarston.co.uk/xml-xsl/index.html.
I also have a sample application which you can run online which is
documented at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql...plication.html

I agree, I write PHP using objects for everything. I don't think a template
engine will help you at all.
Actually, when I was forced to use the phpBB like template, I was
searching for some rational explanations to prove that was messy to my
boss. I was stopped by those sites that reflected my own ideas about
the template engines. It is nice to see many people have same opinions
on this.
I too use a kind of template system---but is totally powered by
PHP;-) <http://groups.google.c om/groups?selm=abc 4d8b8.040213054 7.2f09d2af%40po sting.google.co m>

What do you think about?

PHP is already a HTML templating laguage, but I am looking for a HTML
template engine for users who know nothing about HTML. This template engine
should not be too complex, as this is for very basic users only.
Some HTML online editor is good, but too complex, it's useful for web
builder writting HTML page.

Does anyone know a good template engine for generating text dynamically.

Hi all,
The last few months I've worked on making a template engine because
the ones out there didn't serve my needs. I guess everybody knows
Smarty and has an opinion on it; I like many things about it, but
dislike many others. The thing I made is called 'Farty' (sorry, I suck
at names) and is in many ways a simpler version of Smarty. It keeps
the good (compiling to php files, clean syntax) and fixes the bad
