hi all has anyone used smarty before? what do you think of it? I think it's
pretty nice to seperate your script (code) from your design.
i would like to hear your comments and if you have any alternatives let me
know.
PHP itself is a great templating language :)
<h1><?=$title?></h1>
<table>
<? foreach($staff as $person): ?>
<tr >
<td><?=$person['firstname']?> <?=$person['surname']?></td>
<td><?=$person['role']?></td>
<td><?=$person['phone']?></td>
<td><a href='mailto:<?=$person['email']?>'><?=$person['email']?></td>
</tr>
<? endforeach; ?>
</table>You can still separate your logic from your presentation, template designers can still use quick, simple "tags" to include code, and the upside is that people familiar with PHP don't need to learn ANOTHER language (that's what Smarty is) -- they can dive straight in.
The question is, do you want to give your templater designers full access to the power of PHP, or not. In my case, I did.
