Using Templates in PHP!

any preferences?

[dreamcatcher]

Hi,

I`m going to write a script that uses templates. I haven`t used them before, so it will be a good learning curve for me.

Now I see some people use FastTemplates, while others use PHPLIB Templates. Whilst it seems lots of people use the FastTemplates, I`ve seen comments by other people say that FastTemplates are mainly for the Perl language and are no good with PHP.

I`ve also found something called UltraTemplates too.

So, what I was wondering was is which method you guys prefer? Is one better than the other and if so why? From a learning point of view, which is the best one for me to go with. I was thinking maybe PHPLIB is the best one for me to learn. But maybe there is something better?

Thanks for the help!

another option is
[smarty.php.net...]

Thanks jatar_k. They do all seem pretty much the same, so I suppose as long as one works it doesn`t matter which one you use?

Do you have any preferences as to which one you use?

[jatar_k]

As long as it does what you need it to and you like the way it works then that's all that matters.

I know Nick_W loves smarty so I would recommend that. I myself am all custom for templating.

Well, I`ve downloaded the Smarty files and I`ve been looking at the .pdf manual. Looks good, I`ll print that out for reference as I hate reading too much on a computer screen. :)

Thanks again!

I'm another vote for smarty, great product - better price. =)
