@NogDogSep 04.2018 — #PHP _is_ a templating language already, so I've always found things like Smarty to be overkill. It adds some handy functions for doing some presentation things -- but underneath they are _PHP_ functions, so could simply be a plain old PHP library of functions/classes.
Anyway, the important thing is not what tool you use, but that you actually separate concerns into different parts of the applications: often/usually separate files that concentrate on that specific thing. This it the essential idea behind the use of a MVC framework: model files to handle business logic and such, views for the presentation layer, and controllers to tie everything together.
All methods of separating presentation from code
I need to figure out the topic of separating presentation from code (all methods). I know that there is Smarty and this is called a templating engine. Do I always use something like a templating engine, or how would this work. I basically need to create a simple website with all possible methods of separating presentation from code.
Thanks.
