Lead by NYPHP members Chris Snyder, Daniel Kushner and Hans Zaunere, see how the different templating solutions compare. Chris looks at the powerful Smarty engine, Daniel examines the pure PHPLIB implementation, and Hans maintains that PHP is a templating engine itself!

And now, thanks to Andrew Yochum, a fourth method for templating, PHPTAL is available.

Basic Tasks

• Process posted vars and display a form.
• Display the results of a MySQL query.
• Display a directory listing with image thumbnails and human-readable filesizes.
