Hi All, Just a quick one, can anybody recommend any decent templating engines other than smarty. I've got no problem with smarty and it does the job - but if there is something newer and lighter out there that I'm missing then I'd be a fool not to at least consider it! can't be part of a framework, (or if it is easily extracted with no framework dependencies), and not xslt (love xslt, but not many designers do!). many regards, Nathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I was recently researching template engines for a small in-house project, with a bias toward simple and lightweight. I found this interesting article in my search. I think its worth considering if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the big template engines. Simple and elegant. http://www.massassi.com/php/articles/template_engines/

cheers, it certainly is simple and elegant - however a bit too simple (specifically as it's in template php); gives me immediate visions of a wordpress template - and that's more than enough to scare me off! <lol> regards, nathan
