i have no idea about zend framework but i guess those two has nothing to do with each other i mean smarty is not a frame work it's a template engine as u know.

but u might want to ask yourself will u use a framework or not! cos if ure not gonna use a framework at all u probably want to use template engine.

i'm not a pro but i used smarty and i liked it alot!
beside the concept of getting ur php code separated from ur html template! smarty has lots of other features such as caching! or custom functions! u even can add ur own functions and modifiers to smarty it's simple and easy

caching is good feature as it will lessen the load on ur server and if u could use this feature in the tight way it smarty will do so great for u.

and the good thing about it it's not limited! if u find u need a function to be added to the smarty system u can simply just code that function and put it in a file in the plugins folder and that's all u go to ur template and apply this function to the variable u want it to apply to!

i dont know if u already know all of these but if u do i guess u must have decided to use smarty already ^_^

again i'm not a pro but if there is anything i can help with i will do it :)
good luck
