Do you use a template engine in PHP?

1 pointsby wocp13 anni fa6 comments

Well I'm building an application in PHP without a framework, and I found out Haanga (haanga.org).

It is a template engine for PHP, like Django, its cache system is pretty good and Menéame (meneame.net, which has a lot of traffic) has been using for a long time.

I think that using Haanga may help me to be more organized.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever I try to use a template engine, I end up putting too much view logic in the controller. So we just use PHP files (with the .phtml extension so you know what's up). It's the default way for the Zend Framework.

Haanga hasn't been touched in 7 months.

Check out Twig: http://twig.sensiolabs.org
