Introducing Smarty: A PHP Template Engine (O'Reilly)

[Posted September 11, 2002 by cook]

Joao Prado Maia introduces Smarty on O'Reilly's OnLamp site. "Smarty is a somewhat new development in the PHP world, and it brings several new and unique features. One of these unique features is that Smarty 'compiles' the parsed templates into PHP scripts, and then reuses the compiled template when appropriate. Obviously, this brings a huge performance improvement over other template solutions, as the main PHP script doesn't need to parse and output the same template on every request."
