Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other template engines for PHP provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality. Smarty takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding features such as configuration files, template functions, and variable modifiers, and making all of this functionality as easy as possible to use for both programmers and template designers. Smarty also converts the templates into PHP scripts, eliminating the need to parse the templates on every invocation. This makes Smarty extremely scalable and managable for large application needs.

It is quite common for PHP developers to include other files in an effort to reuse code, however templates make that job easier and allow you to separate HMTL layout from code logic.

Changes:
A vulnerability in the regex_replace modifier has been fixed that allowed PHP code to be executed from a template, even with template security enabled. If you are using template security features, it is highly recommended to upgrade, or at least replace the modifier plugin. A problem with the {strip}{/strip} tag (that was introduced in 2.6.7) has been fixed. Casting objects to arrays in the {foreach} "item" attribute has been addressed.

While that process is certainly valid and useful, most developers agree that the separation of business logic and layout logic makes the code a lot easier to understand and maintain. This is the reason behind templates, to separate business logic from layout.

Smarty is a somewhat new development in the PHP world, and it brings several new and unique features. One of these unique features is that Smarty 'compiles' the parsed templates into PHP scripts, and then reuses the compiled template when appropriate. Obviously, this brings a huge performance improvement over other template solutions, as the main PHP script doesn't need to parse and output the same template on every request.

Smarty has a Wiki

Smarty has a Wiki 07/15/2002 01:36 PM
This Wiki is provided to allow the Smarty community (in particular members of the smarty-general mailing list) somewhere to help contribute documentation to the Smarty project. This can include tips, howtos, addons, or answers to frequently asked questions. Useful content added to the Wiki can then be rolled in to the official Smarty documentation later on.

There has been some criticism that the Smarty documentation is more useful to experienced developers than to template designers and end users. This Wiki is here to help change that.

"tri" Smarty is a popular PHP template engine that allows you to separate your code and data. A Wiki is an amazing editing and HTML generation system.

Smarty Quotes

Smarty Quotes 03/11/2003 09:43 AM
Nelson Minar rages against the dying of design, in his summary of a discussion with Cory Doctorow around using smart quotes and other typographic niceties in weblogs.

I want to use fancy Unicode characters like U+201C and U+201D ("smart quotes") in my blog. Cory hates that idea because non-ASCII characters behave badly when you paste them into your email or text editor and that they don't work well in RSS.

The underlying problem is an impedence mismatch between new Unicode oriented tech like the Web and XML and old ASCII oriented tech like email and text editors. Browsers and RSS readers should mediate between the two but software often gets it wrong.

This discussion continues a conversation on the SmartyPants plug-in I hacked together for Blosxom.

While compromising design for the sake of compensation for badly integrated technologies and encodings is not on in my book, some allowance must be made for the simple copy-n-paste. To that end, I've added a plainlink (txt) to my template alongside the permalink. This link leads to an utterly plain text (non-smarty) version of the story at hand.

Smarty as a "Sub-Language"

Smarty as a "Sub-Language" 03/22/2005 04:31 PM

I've been spending some time working with Smarty lately. This is ostensibly a "templating language" for PHP. But I think it goes beyond that. I assert that Smarty has become a sub-language all by itself.

(Update: I thought of a much better name for this: "sand-boxed PHP." That's what Smarty is — a sandbox into which you can release as much or as little PHP functionality as you want.)

First of all, for the record, Smarty is astonishingly well-done. Joe tried to get me to use it for about a year, and I resisted because I've hated most templating languages I had worked with. (Lately, Joe is bugging me to try Rails, so I'm sure I'll do that about a year from now. I'm usually about a year behind Joe.)

I've spent just two weeks or so with Smarty, and I'll never, ever go back. It's one of those rare things that was written the way you would have written it if you had all the time in the world and were a lot smarter than you actually are.

What I love about Smarty is the extensibility. You can take any logic and wrap it up into a function or a modifier and expose it to Smarty, so it can be used in templates. Anything — if you can write it in PHP, you can reduce and simplify it down to a tag in Smarty.

This means that you could essentially write a new programming language in Smarty — a language that runs within PHP. Smarty already includes v ariables, flow control, several built-in modifier s and functions, and an i nclude system that's essentially a way to create user-defined functions.

Once you start wrapping up some advanced functionality into Smarty tags, you could create an entire language, teach your template developers how to use it, and they'd never know they were actually using PHP unless you told them. They'd essentially be "programming" in a sub-language that runs inside of PHP. (If they ever ask you what language you're teaching them, just string three letters together — "RTI" or "DBN" or something. They'll buy it.)

Let's consider ColdFusion, which is the language we would come the closest to if we pushed Smarty as far as it could go. This code in ColdFusion pulls a recordset, loops through it, and prints everything out.

<cfquery name="news" datasource="news">
  SELECT * FROM news
</cfquery>

<cfoutput query="news">
  #news.title#
  <br>
</cfoutput>

Now, here's the same thing in a Smarty template:

{query name="news"}
  SELECT * FROM news
{/query}

{foreach from=$news item=article}
  {$article.title}
  <br>
{/foreach}

All this took was a custom, 10-line blo ck function (written like this) that allows the template author to provide the SQL statement to be executed and returns a two-dimensional array. (Before you send the hate mail, yes I know this is wrong. I know this is a perversion of everything Smarty is supposed to do. I'm just trying to make a point here.)

So Smarty can be made to function very much like ColdFusion. It's not hard to take this further. Assign the $_GET and $_POST variables, and you can provide some dynamic functionality. This assignment:

$smarty->assign('_get', $_GET);

Will let you do this in the above template:

{query name="news"}
  SELECT * FROM news WHERE title LIKE '%{$_get.q}%'
{/query}

Now template authors can create a mini-app that searches a database table. It's not hard to see how you could make scripts to let them update tables as well.

But, you may say, Smarty has to be invoked from a PHP page, so the templates cannot be URL-addressable. True, but you can automate this. You can just route all incoming requests to the same PHP page, like this:

AliasMatch ^.*$ /template_loader.php

Then, in that file, do something like this:

$smarty->display($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

This will load whatever template was called in the (fake) URL. So now template authors can start stringing templates together. Before you know it, they've gone and built a simple app. By themselves. Without you. In a language that you gave them. That runs inside of — and is essentially controlled by — PHP.

Your programming environment has now been split into a "main" language and a "sub" language, both of which you have control over. You can give your template authors as much or as little functionality as you want (you "wrote" the language, remember). They can solve as many problems as they can with what you've given them. For other problems, you can tackle them in "real" PHP and just provide the result, or you can encapsulate the algorithm and expose it to Smarty via a function or modifer.

Is this a good thing? I can't decide. But it sure is interesting, ain't it?
