31 | SYNOPSIS: | |
32 | ||

36 | ||
37 | $smarty->assign("Title","My Homepage"); | |

43 | DESCRIPTION: | |
44 | ||
45 | What is Smarty? | |
46 | ||
47 | Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other template engines for PHP | |
48 | provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality. | |
49 | Smarty takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding | |
50 | features such as configuration files, template functions, and variable | |
51 | modifiers, and making all of this functionality as easy as possible to | |
52 | use for both programmers and template designers. Smarty also converts | |
53 | the templates into PHP scripts, eliminating the need to parse the | |
54 | templates on every invocation. This makes Smarty extremely scalable and | |
55 | manageable for large application needs. | |
56 | ||
57 | Some of Smarty's features: | |
58 | ||
59 | * it is extremely fast | |
60 | * no template parsing overhead, only compiles once. | |
61 | * it is smart about recompiling only the template files that have | |
62 | changed. | |
63 | * the template language is remarkably extensible via the plugin | |
64 | architecture. | |
65 | * configurable template delimiter tag syntax, so you can use | |
66 | {}, {{}}, <!--{}-->, or whatever you like. | |
67 | * built-in caching of template output. | |
68 | * arbitrary template sources (filesystem, databases, etc.) | |
69 | * template if/elseif/else/endif constructs are passed to the PHP parser, | |
70 | so the if syntax can be as simple or as complex as you like. | |
71 | * unlimited nesting of sections, conditionals, etc. allowed | |
72 | * it is possible to embed PHP code right in your template files, | |
73 | although not recommended and doubtfully needed since the engine | |
74 | is so customizable. | |
75 | * and many more. | |
