Originally coming from desktop application programming I only recently
started developing web applications, so just had to figure that out for
myself. I played around with Smarty and tried a view different models,
now this works quite fine:
1. Database abstraction in PHP (using AdoDB in my particular case).

2. Abstract every Smarty template through a class that does all of the
logic.

3. Keep the templates dumb. They are basically only doing the formating.

4. A controller.

I did not want to drag the SQL into the templates as this might expose
too much of the implementation already, thus blurring the separation.
I am fairly happy with the result so far.
