NYCPHP Meetup

[Yitzchak Schaffer]

Greetings all --

The current thread on beginner to intermediate has brought up Smarty; I 
have been wondering about the relative advantanges of PHP templating 
engines.  The only two I'm familiar with (superficially) are Smarty and 
PHPTAL.  I didn't find much discussion about them, but it seems to me 
that PHPTAL is a more pure templating environment, with greater 
separation of logic and content.  On the other hand, I think I've read 
that Smarty is particularly strong in terms of performance, given its 
template compiling.

Though I haven't heard much discussion, it seems like whenever I hear 
about templating, it's using Smarty.  Does anyone have any thoughts on 
Smarty/PHPTAL/other engines that may be out there?

Thanks,
--
