Does anyone know of a php package that handles Dreamweaver templates? I'm working on a new project in which that functionality would be very useful.

Whe you say "handles" Dreamweaver templates, what exactly do you mean? (Some of us are still hand-coding vampires and shrink from the bright light of WYSIWYG tools. ;-)

The only things I've found are php-templates [php-templates.sourceforge.net]. However, this is a php extension written in C, for portability, I would much rather have a php solution, if available. ...

Ideally, one of the PEAR templating packages would be able to do this, so that I can keep everything integrated with PEAR (QF, MDB, etc). As far as I can tell, though, none of them do so. I would not be opposed to writing the code to handle this, as long as I could get some help from the package maintainer.

Although I am not clear as to your requirements, perhaps Savant will provide what you need. Although Savant is not in PEAR, it is fully PEAR compliant. I quote the home page: "Savant is a powerful but lightweight PEAR-compliant template system for PHP. It is non-compiling, and uses PHP itself as its template language so you don't need to learn a new markup system. ... It has an object-oriented system of template plugins and output filters..."
