PHPTal is an alternative to smarty: http://phptal.org/ - it's got a nice syntax, I find. However, whether one should bother with a templating system like smarty or phptal very much depends upon how intricate your front-end system needs to be and what it needs to do. For smaller projects. smarty or phptal will get in the way and will likely get very annoying. For bigger projects they can be of great use.
