Looking for a good templating engine for your next PHP application? Be sure to check out this great list on the WebResourcesDepot site for a pretty comprehensive list.

PHP template engines are used widely to seperate the code & the layout. PHP makes a website easier to maintain/update & creates a better development environment by enabling developers & designers to work together easier. It sure has some drawbacks which is generally the performance (most libraries offer great solutions there) & need to learn a new syntax (not always).

Some of the engines included in the list are:

• Smarty
• Savant
• TinyButStrong
• PHPTAL
• the template engines under PEAR (like HTML_Template_Flexy)
