PHP Template Engines?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 31, 2004 @05:55AM from the topics-seeking-discussion dept.

kubed asks: "I've recently learned how to use PHP template engines to separate business logic from presentation. Some argue that template engines make applications easier to maintain and make for cleaner code. Others argue that template engines introduce unnecessary overhead and require too much additional processing power. Do the readers of Slashdot think that it is important to use templates or are they just an extra unnecessary layer? There are dozens of PHP template engines to choose from including Smarty, phplib, and bTemplate. Which template engines do you have experience with and which ones have the best performance?"

Only amateurs use PHP. The professionals have moved on to real languages, like C# or Java. PHP suXors.

  Off-topic, I know, but what does "suXors" mean?
