Hi everyone,
I'm interested in taking the next step and learn templating. I've been toying with one called patTemplate, however I'm a little confused by it. I understand the concept, but I'm having trouble getting things to flow correctly. Logic such as how to process forms, etc. I was wondering if any
Never used patTemplate... although in general templates work similar to the way PHP functions do. Bind a value to a variable and then plop it in the page. If your site only hires PHP programmers for design, or if you don't need to cache templates, then templating probably isn't needed. PHP after all started life as a templating language!
of you could be of help? PatTemplate looks like it's fairly straight
forward however there does seem to be very much activity from the looks of
the forum on the patTemplate web site. I was also thinking about taking a
look at smarty.
I like smarty mostly because of its caching feature. Most of the rest of it I can do without, indeed I still haven't bothered to learn all of the features it gives me. You can compare what you've seen with several other projects that do templating if you're interested in pursuing this further.
