I’m trying to compare between the different template engines for PHP. The 2 that come up are smarty and PHPtemplate. How do I decide which is better for me.. These are some of the questions I’m trying to find answers to

  • What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of these 2
  • Is one better than the other in some cases or for some types of projects
  • Which is easier to learn and work with (flexible)
  • Are there any good additional template engines for PHP I’m missing

    Dunno what do you mean under PHPtemplate but assuming Drupal’s native PHP template system.

    • Is one better than the other in some cases or for some types of projects

    in case you gonna let users edit templates, both are bad. Go for something XTemplate-like.
    Otherwise both PHP and PHP written in PHP (Smarty) are all right

    • Which is easier to learn and work with (flexible)

    PHP for sure

    • Are there any good additional template engines for PHP I’m missing

    A whole lot.
