Hey all -
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I want to freshen the
debate. I've used Smarty for a while, but I've often wondered if
there is anything better out there in the world of PHP. I've
briefly used a library called Phastplate, but it seems like
development isn't going anymore on that. I can't find the homepage
for it on the web either.
The main thing I like about Smarty is its ability to do formating
and stuff on the fly, as well as the way it can handle arrays. Once
I got the scripting language down, it was really convenient. I also
like how you can use QuickForm together with Smarty and format
forms and stuff.
I like developing using the MVC software design pattern. That gives
you the best separation and modularity, and you can often have a
templating/view layer that is written just in PHP rather than some
extra pseudo-language you have to learn (like Smarty's tags).
