Just nitpicking, Andi, but really, it's Zend that needs to be in parenthesis (if at all present), rather than PHP. That's the name of the language.

Uhm, what I meant was that instead of using a C tool it uses the scripting engine's ability for the template back-end. I used Zend to make it clear that it isn't as-if the whole template is processed each and every time by PHP which would make it much slower. Just thought it'd make it clearer as to why it's not terribly slow (opposed to having regex's and friends run everytime the template is encountered). Andi
