One of my associates swears SMARTY is the best thing since sliced bread. I think it uses PHP an PEAR, but is more abstract. I looked at it and it did some cool things with only a few lines of code.
Being an old dog, I have built many different "libraries" in C and PHP and prefer to use them. The last project I worked on, we made it so it could be used with MySQL, but was primarily designed to work with PostgreSQL. I don't like MySQL, and I was the primary developer. Give smarty a look.
