Smarty Documentation

Smarty is a template engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic.

It allows you to write templates, using variables, modifiers, functions and comments, like this:

<h1>{$title|escape}</h1>

<p>
    The number of pixels is: {math equation="x * y" x=$height y=$width}.
</p>

When this template is rendered, with the value "Hello world" for the variable $title, 640 for $width, and 480 for $height, the result is:

<h1>Hello world</h1>

<p>
    The number of pixels is: 307200.
</p>
