ET (Easy Template)

ET (Easy Template) is the ultimate template engine: fast, simple, powerful, and "html-readable".

Quick show:

You can see here how ET (Easy Template) is more powerful than any classical template engine. There's no more limits than with php itself ;-) The limit is the purpose: a clean separation between processing and presentation. Just see samples, and benchmark:

A variable Parsed A loop structure Parsed Sample if-then-else Parsed

{title}

The variable was defined like that:

$title = 'Easy Template' Easy Template 
{$key;}={$v;}


$list is an array defined in the php
before parsing the template, like this:

$list = array('key1'=>'item1',
'key2'=>'item2',
'key3'=>'item3'); key1=>item1
key2=>item2
key3=>item3
if true:

return true

return false
;
if true:
return true

A robust system:

A variable	Parsed	A loop structure	Parsed	Sample if-then-else	Parsed
{title} The variable was defined like that: $title = 'Easy Template'	Easy Template	<!--{foreach($list as $key=>$v):}--> {$key;}={$v;} <!--{endforeach;}--> $list is an array defined in the php before parsing the template, like this: $list = array('key1'=>'item1', 'key2'=>'item2', 'key3'=>'item3');	key1=>item1 key2=>item2 key3=>item3	if true: <!--{if(true):}--> return true <!--{else:}--> return false <!--{endif;}-->;	if true: return true

The non-existing variables like {bug} or {contents} are leaved unchanged. They do not cause parsing errors.
