drak,
as much as i think m.j. is a waste of time in the world of php, i don't
think the use of smarty is a predicate qualification. most people hired for
a job don't know what smarty even is. i too believe in the seperation of
church and state...errrr...html and php, however, one should architect
pragmatically. some isp's don't have smarty installed nor will they. if your
company chooses to use it, it may have a problem hiring someone who can
program for it - this is especially difficult when consultants are brought
into the mix. that raises the price tag in most cases.
one can acheive that separation simply by employing oop design. that
minimizes intermingling and keeps your core business logic as completely
php...one layer up is the presentation layer where they do come together. i
just personally don't see the need for smarty in most cases. there are only
so many things one can do with web pages...and none of them are overly
difficult. repetative presentation tasks can be handled with out of the box
php...and a little forethought of design.
but that's just me. i have used smarty and do like what it allows. do i use
it on the job? no...and probably never will. either way, m.j. really
shouldn't write *anything*. ;^)
cheers,
me
