    copied!<p>Im not fan ov additional templating languages (that replace wildcards) instead i like to keep my templates pure php so my vertion of what you have done would be:</p> <p><code>&lt;div id="blah"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;?php echo $username ?&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;?php echo $stuff ?&gt;&lt;...&gt;</code></p> <p><code>echo GetTemplate( 'myTemplate.php', array ( 'username' =&gt; 'Stranger', 'stuff' =&gt; 'Stuff' ) );</code></p> <pre><code>function GetTemplate($templatePath, array $vars = array()) { extract($vars); ob_start(); include($templatePath); return ob_get_clean(); } </code></pre> <p>I alos combine this with helper functions/object->methods as well for example:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php echo link_to($name, $url); ?&gt;</code></p> <pre><code>function link_to($name, $url, array $attributes = array()) { $attributes['href'] = urlencode($url); foreach($attributes as $attrib =&gt; $value) { $attributes[$attrib] = $attrib."=\"$value\""; } return sprintf('&lt;a %s&gt;%s&lt;/a&gt;', implode(" ",$attributes), $name); } </code></pre> <p>I generally apply helpers like these to commonly used tags/structures as well as having a general purpose html tag one that looks something like <code>content_tag($tag, $content, $attributes);</code> This helps me avoid a php echo for tons of attributes for random tags. I obviously dont use it for every html tag i use only for ones where it makes for better readability than a ton of echos.</p> <p>As far as templating engines go i dont really see the benefit as php is templating language. As far as non-programmers/coders they have to leanr the syntax for a loop and a variable any how so i dont see how changing it to wildcards or the {} syntax of smarty adds anything. </p>
