As Brian Lozier wrote (http://www.massassi.com/php/articles/ template_engines/): "The point of template engines should be to separate your business logic from your presentation logic, not separate your PHP code from your HTML code" So, you are talking about syntax, but not about separating logic from view in which Symfony is very good! The difference between template engines is their syntax and features. So, choose of some template engine is a subjective sentiment. I choose PHP because: 1. PHP syntax is accustomed for me and I know it very well. 2. PHP is most powerful template language. 3. My IDE works with PHP well. 4. Speed efficiency is very good (and if not, it could be improved with caching) Choosing different template engine you have to learn new "markupped" language which usually is not simpler than programming language. My pint is that templates are not for designers but for coders, who already knows PHP, so there is no need to create something else. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
