Smarty

, _(*3)

Smarty is a template engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. This implies that PHP code is application logic, and is separated from the presentation., _(*4)

Some of Smarty's features:, _(*5)

• It is extremely fast.
• It is efficient since the PHP parser does the dirty work.
• No template parsing overhead, only compiles once.
• It is smart about recompiling only the template files that have changed.
• You can easily create your own custom functions and variable modifiers, so the template language is extremely extensible.
• Configurable template {delimiter} tag syntax, so you can use {$foo}, {{$foo}}, <!--{$foo}-->, etc.
• The {if}..{elseif}..{else}..{/if} constructs are passed to the PHP parser, so the {if...} expression syntax can be as simple or as complex an evaluation as you like.
• Allows unlimited nesting of sections, if's etc.
• Built-in caching support.
• Arbitrary template sources.
• Template Inheritance for easy management of template content.
• Plugin architecture.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.3 and up
• PPI Framework 2 (2.1.x)

About PPI

, <sub>(*14)</sub>

PPI is an open source PHP meta-framework. It has taken the good bits from Symfony2, ZendFramework2 & Doctrine2 and combined them together to create a solid and very easy web application framework. It can be considered the boilerplate of PHP frameworks., <sub>(*15)</sub>
