I agree, I'd go for Smarty. Though, on the other hand, I often see no reason for using the Templates of any kind. Why? Because you stil get to hard code the tags in it. Not making that much sense as many think. You might simply create a framework by appending the genuine PHP files where HTML code resides and PHP code includes the variables. This will be faster and native. Will also do the necessary thing: separate code (*) from layout(**).
(*) Code - the actual functionalty (**) Layout - HTML, JavaScript orwhatever that receives the PHP variables and places them within the layout. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Danny Shepherd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote... : > Well, Yahoo! have moved/are moving to Smarty and they get a few million > views a day. > > The killer part with smarty is that it converts the Smarty tags, in your > template, to real PHP code - that's what makes it so fast.
