NYCPHP Meetup

[Joseph Annino]

I like vlib template:
http://vlib.activefish.com/

There is a java library for reading the same template format:
http://html-tmpl-java.sourceforge.net/

And this template format was originally part of Perl's HTML::Template
http://html-template.sourceforge.net/

The way it works is using object methods, or arrays, or both, you push 
your variables into the template object.  It supports simple scalars, 
if then statements, loops, and a few automatic variables.  The template 
syntax is designed to be HTMLish and has a limited set of commands to 
keep it simple and keep design and logic separate.  It also has a nice 
command to take an SQL result and make it into a loop variable, making 
putting most database results into a template a one liner.  I really 
like it and use one of the above on all my projects.  There are slight 
differences between the libraries, so just be aware of them if you want 
to write cross language templates.  It does appear to be a bit 
different in approach than velocity though.
