Smarty is a templating language. A disciplined programmer with PHP would not need Smarty (et al) because they'd just keep their [bleep] organized. However, large-scale projects with junior coders may find that Smarty (et al) helps enforce the separation of business logic and presentation logic. Or not, if the coders are junior enough... :-) Smarty's one uniqe (afaik) feature is that it compiles itself out into PHP code, so removes the possibly slow string substitution of other templating systems. ymmv naiaa ianal On Mon, March 17, 2008 2:53 pm, Jason Rexilius wrote: > Thanks matt..
