Smarty is one solution, but the concept you need to employ is separating your display (mainly HTML) from your business logic (the PHP classes). Make them separate files and then they only edit the templates and don't touch your PHP code. You can make them plain HTML pages and just include() them, read them and eval() them, or use any templating solution. It's going to be the best way to do this. Probably telling you what you already know, but it sounded like you just needed to be told it! ;) ---John Holmes...
