You're verging on a religious war here... My predictions: 1) 25% respond in favor of HTML_Template_Flexy 2) 25% respond in favor of Smarty 3) 25% respond in favor of different templating solutions altogether 4) 25% respond asking why you need a templating system at all when you have PHP As for my own leanings -- we use Smarty where I work, and I like its flexibility and the ease with which I can integrate it with regular HTML (I particularly like that it doesn't use angle brackets as its delimiters -- makes it easy to spot Smarty directives in the template). My one complaint about it: no error handling. I wish it had error handling ala PEAR -- occasionally I get errors in Smarty that end up being hard to debug due to the complexity of the templates and/or number of templates we're using to generate a page. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
