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. |
