A lot of people seem to dislike smarty templates engine. Let me clear some points:- all template passed by smarty are compile to file with php code so page become faster as a 'php template'- smarty have cache system that is very customizable- smarty templates preview can be view directly without php- smarty templates have more readability than php based template- learn syntax take about only 1 hour- php based template don't separate completly the logic and view. you always to switch to php to html html code... . It doesn't help maintenance when you have big page- designers don't need to learn php- you can compressed Smarty file: Smarty.class.php (62ko to 29ko) and Smarty_Compiler.class.php(91ko to 54ko), so when you don't need to re-compile template, smarty libs is only about 30ko to load- most of plugins are loading on demand and is very very easy to create new one!- morganm say: I've got two sites running it, or rather walking it, it's ridiculously slow and a new syntax to learn, with a bunch of analogs for existing PHP functions. I am not a fan, but I suppose they just could have been poorly implemented in my sites.> lol he anwser itself at his problem. Poor implementation mean poor perfomance and its same for everything in php.> Good implementation, compressed main smarty files in conjunction with cache system activated do a kick ass job with a very decent good speed!

The fact that there are 25 to choose from says a lot about PHP...and believe it or not it ain't good.

The list of those many template engines inspired me to think whether it is possible for designers to write all flow-controlling scripts in English instead of in any weird scripting languages, and it actually is. <a class="user" href="http://derianto.blogspot.com/2007/08/php-templating-solution-without-php.html">http://derianto.blogspot.com/2007/08/php-templating-solution-without-php.html</a>
