Things such as     including other templates,     alternating table row colors,     upper-casing a variable,     looping over an array of data and     rendering it are examples of presentation logic.</li> <li>This does not mean however that Smarty forces a separation of     business and presentation logic. Smarty has no knowledge of which is     which, so placing business logic in the template is your own doing.</li> <li>Also, if you desire no logic in your templates you certainly can     do so by boiling the content down to text and variables only.</li> </ul>"},{"location":"features/#how-does-it-work","title":"How does it work?","text":"<p>Under the hood, Smarty \"compiles\" (basically copies and converts) the templates into PHP scripts. This happens once when each template is first invoked, and then the compiled versions are used from that point forward. Smarty takes care of this for you, so the template designer just edits the Smarty templates and never has to manage the compiled versions. This approach keeps the templates easy to maintain, and yet keeps execution times extremely fast since the compiled code is just PHP. And of course, all PHP scripts take advantage of PHP op-code caches such as APC.</p>"},{"location":"features/#template-inheritance","title":"Template Inheritance","text":"<p>Template inheritance was introduced in Smarty 3. Before template inheritance, we managed our templates in pieces such as header and footer templates. This organization lends itself to many problems that require some hoop-jumping, such as managing content within the header/footer on a per-page basis. With template inheritance, instead of including other templates we maintain our templates as single pages. We can then manipulate blocks of content within by inheriting them. This makes templates intuitive, efficient and easy to manage. See Template Inheritance for more info.</p>"},{"location":"features/#why-not-use-xmlxslt-syntax","title":"Why not use XML/XSLT syntax?","text":"<p>There are a couple of good reasons. First, Smarty can be used for more than just XML/HTML based templates, such as generating emails, javascript, CSV, and PDF documents. Second, XML/XSLT syntax is even more verbose and fragile than PHP code! It is perfect for computers, but horrible for humans. Smarty is about being easy to read, understand and maintain.</p>"},{"location":"features/#template-security","title":"Template Security","text":"<p>Although Smarty insulates you from PHP, you still have the option to use it in certain ways if you wish. Template security forces the restriction of PHP (and select Smarty functions.) This is useful if you have third parties editing templates, and you don't want to unleash the full power of PHP or Smarty to them.</p>"},{"location":"features/#integration","title":"Integration","text":"<p>Sometimes Smarty gets compared to Model-View-Controller (MVC) frameworks. Smarty is not an MVC, it is just the presentation layer, much like the View (V) part of an MVC. As a matter of fact, Smarty can easily be integrated as the view layer of an MVC. Many of the more popular ones have integration instructions for Smarty, or you may find some help here in the forums and documentation.</p>"},{"location":"features/#other-template-engines","title":"Other Template Engines","text":"<p>Smarty is not the only engine following the \"Separate Programming Code from Presentation\" philosophy. For instance, Python has template engines built around the same principles such as Django Templates and CheetahTemplate. Note: Languages such as Python do not mix with HTML natively, which give them the advantage of proper programming code separation from the outset. There are libraries available to mix Python with HTML, but they are typically avoided.</p>"},{"location":"features/#what-smarty-is-not","title":"What Smarty is Not","text":"<p>Smarty is not an application development framework. Smarty is not an MVC. Smarty is not an alternative to Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, or any of the other application development frameworks for PHP.</p> <p>Smarty is a template engine, and works as the (V)iew component of your application. Smarty can easily be coupled to any of the engines listed above as the view component. No different than any other software, Smarty has a learning curve. Smarty does not guarantee good application design or proper separation of presentation, this still needs to be addressed by a competent developer and web designer.</p>"},{"location":"features/#is-smarty-right-for-me","title":"Is Smarty Right for Me?","text":"<p>Smarty is not meant to be a tool for every job. The important thing is to identify if Smarty fits your needs. There are some important questions to ask yourself:</p>"},{"location":"features/#template-syntax","title":"Template Syntax","text":"<p>Are you content with PHP tags mixed with HTML?

Some experience working with both Smarty and PHP helps answer these questions.</p>"},{"location":"features/#the-business-case","title":"The Business Case","text":"<p>Is there a requirement to insulate the templates from PHP?

They are passed into Smarty by the     application.</p> </li> <li> <p>Then the template designer edits the templates and uses a     combination of HTML tags and template tags     to format the presentation of these     variables with elements such as     tables, div\\'s, background colors, font sizes, style sheets, svg     etc.</p> </li> <li> <p>One day the programmer needs to change the way the article content     is retrieved, ie a change in application logic. This change does not     affect the template designer, the content will still arrive in the     template exactly the same.</p> </li> <li> <p>Likewise, if the template designer wants to completely redesign the     templates, this would require no change to the application logic.</p> </li> <li> <p>Therefore, the programmer can make changes to the application logic     without the need to restructure templates, and the template designer     can make changes to templates without breaking application logic.</p> </li> </ul>"},{"location":"philosophy/#goals","title":"Goals","text":"<p>The Smarty design was largely driven by these goals: -   clean separation of presentation from application code -   PHP backend, Smarty template frontend -   complement PHP, not replace it -   fast development/deployment for programmers and designers -   quick and easy to maintain -   syntax easy to understand, no PHP knowledge necessary -   flexibility for custom development -   security: insulation from PHP -   free, open source</p>"},{"location":"philosophy/#two-camps-of-thought","title":"Two camps of thought","text":"<p>When it comes to templating in PHP, there are basically two camps of thought.

If designers use PHP, it is too easy to add code into templates that doesn't belong there (you just handed them a swiss-army knife when they just needed a knife.) You can teach them the rules of application design, but this is probably something they don't really need to learn (now they are developers!) The PHP manual is also an overwhelming pile of information to sift through. It is like handing the owner of a car the factory assembly manual when all they need is the owners manual. Smarty gives web designers exactly the tools they need, and gives developers fine-grained control over those tools.

With template inheritance, instead of including other templates we maintain our templates as single pages. We can then manipulate blocks of content within by inheriting them. This makes templates intuitive, efficient and easy to manage.

You can teach them the rules of application design, but this is probably something they don't really need to learn (now they are developers!) The PHP manual is also an overwhelming pile of information to sift through. It is like handing the owner of a car the factory assembly manual when all they need is the owners manual.

Theoretically you get much better performance on a filesystem with 10 directories each having 100 files, than with 1 directory having 1000 files.
