Smarty PHP Template Engine

Smarty is a web template system written in PHP. Smarty is primarily promoted as a tool for separation of concerns, which is a common design strategy for certain kinds of applications.

Smarty generates web content by the placement of special Smarty tags within a document. These tags are processed and substituted with other code.

Tags are directives for Smarty that are enclosed by template delimiters. These directives can be variables, denoted by a dollar sign ($), functions, or logical or control flow statements. Smarty allows PHP programmers to define functions that can be accessed using Smarty tags.

Smarty is intended to simplify compartmentalization, allowing the presentation of a web page to change separately from the back-end. Ideally, this eases the costs and efforts associated with software maintenance. Under successful application of this development strategy, designers are shielded from the back-end coding, and PHP programmers are shielded from the presentation coding.
