Given the security implications of plain PHP templating (you're on your own for absolutely all filtering and escaping, good luck), I'd say this isn't even a controversial statement. PHP may have begun life as a templating language for the 90s, but in the 2020s it's a fairly mediocre option at best compared to what else is readily available. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
