I am about to embark on the rather burdensome quest of refactoring a
semi-large codebase (poMMo) to utilize PHPTAL as its template engine
(vs. Smarty).
One of the reasons I want to switch from SMARTY is to alleviate the
requirement of a writable directory (smarty requires this for compiling
templates... and doesn't really provide an out-of-box database backend
as a workaround).
Having users set proper permissions on a "working" directory crosses
eyes... let alone the introduces the possibility of a security risk as
"777" is the lowest common denominator here!
I also very much like less-logic approach of ZPT... as it too has the
propensity to cross less eyes.
Lastly, it's a push to embrace PHP 5 and drop PHP 4 support...
That said; does PHPTAL have any working directory requirements -- e.g.
where the webserver would need write permission to a specified
directory? I see that there is caching control -- is this handled by
PHP's temporary / session file handling storage?
Many thanks!
