| Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other template engines for PHP
provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality. Smarty
takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding features such
as configuration files, template functions, and variable modifiers, and
making all of this functionality as easy as possible to use for both
programmers and template designers. Smarty also converts the templates into
PHP scripts, eliminating the need to parse the templates on every
invocation. This makes Smarty extremely scalable and managable for large
application needs. |
