Smarty Template Question Enterprise Usage

[UnEmployedAfterSchoo]

I am working in one of the banks. Is it wise to use Smarty Template for website that depends on large connections. Would Smarty cause performance issue?

I don't use templates myself but have had a look at a few. It's like learning another language on top of the PHP language. As far as performance goes you would have to set it up both ways and measure to be certain.

Looks like a sort of OOP template system! I use OOP (object orineted programming, even thought PHP isn't true OOP) on lots of big sites! It's much easier when working in big teams instead of embedding all the design and code together!

However, it does seem like a whole new language! Best thing to do, I'd recommend, is to do some reading on OOP (Classes, etc...) in PHP and create your own team's framework. It'll work much better for you and do the job much faster and better!
