RE: [PHP] Best Template Engine

Well for those NOOBS out there, the smarty template engine is pretty good. http://smarty.php.net. Good for begginers as are most of them. But even still, I couldn't really use it because it is still too limited for me. I always have to create my own stuff because it is basically impossible for me to find anything close to what I need. -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

Yeah, well oh well. I suggest that any newbies out here (and I'm not that far from a newbie) don't build your own templating system. Please. Learn smarty at smarty.php.net or some other recognized templating system. If you find somethin that can be done better, then suggest it to the community for the benefit of all. Focus on developing BETTER applications, spend a little more time on planning your applications.
