I use Smarty. The thing about Smarty is it can be as simple or as complex as you want it. I personally feel you could do exactly as you describe with it -- just tell your designers the bare minimum of what you will allow in a template. You might look into Savant as well -- but the idea behind Savant is that a template is simply another PHP page, only you do code related to display logic only. I don't believe it does caching, either (though I'm unsure of that point). PEAR also has a number of templating systems, and I'd be surprised if they don't do caching; look under the HTTP or HTML categories on PEAR for some possibilities. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:matthew@garden.org Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org
