I think PHP's string functions are pretty fast and even with large documents we are talking about a couple of extra microseconds on a modern machine. I once saw someone do pretty much the same as you are trying to do with strtr() [1], but I don't know if that function is faster than str_replace(). You should also consider that if you framework is going to manage someone's site one day then it could possibly be on a server with an older PHP version. I disagree with those on the list saying one should just stick to an existing templating framework, since it can be quite exciting to think some neat thingy out. Of course, most people (including me) hardly have any time at all to spend 1000s of hours on a more or less private project. [1] http://in.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php

Hey Yeti, Sorry I took so long to respond. Been a busy week or so. I've decided, for ease of production, to go another route. I am for the time being, using Smarty's engine. This will likely change down the road to a custom template engine, but I believe at this time this is the best option in regards to time/ease. Thanks for the help anyways. It was valuable information. - Craige
