Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Smarty provides your basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality, and also takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding features such as configuration files, template functions, 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. |
