About the Free Online Edition
This site is designed to
give you more information about the book Smarty PHP Template
Programming and Applications by Packt Publishing. This
website will allow you to view content from the book and also allow
you to read through summaries of each chapter from the book.
About the book
Smarty is a templating
engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files
can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple
tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty
engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all
this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can
concentrate on programming, and they don't need to get in each
others way so much.
Even if you are developing a site on your own, Smarty is a powerful
way to make your code clearer to you and others, as well as easier
to debug and modify later.
