[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Template system

[Ed <co...@fu...>]

I'd like to try working a template system into PHP ICalendar, in order 
to improve separation of presentation and logic.  There are several 
options available, and I'd like to get some opinions on what folks 
think would be a good choice.  Here are the criteria that I had in mind 
(feel free to add your own, of course):

1) Easy to integrate; preferably contained in a single file
2) Doesn't require that the file system be writable by the web server's 
user (typically necessary for caching, so caching should at least be 
disable-able)
3) supports some basic "if" and loop constructs, but should not be 
overly complex.  I have already semi-ruled out Smarty, because I think 
the complexity, while powerful, is overkill.  I could be convinced 
otherwise, though. 8)

I tried doing some work with the PHPLIB template class.  I think that 
the lack of proper "if" constructs made it tedious to try and integrate 
into the app as-is.  I also have a very simple homegrown template 
system that just uses standard PHP for logic.  That would avoid having 
to learn a new syntax for the templates, but it might also tempt people 
to do more complex stuff than they should in the templates.

Thoughts?
