    CMS and templates

    I think how to attach document body to the template. The previous
    method don't allow to change <title>, add headers or code to <head>.
    However, it has some advantages - modules don't care about including
    template or defining FILE constant.

    http://nopaste.php-quake.net/236 - there are the methods
    with advantages and disadvantages

    What should I choose? I want a good fast method. The performance is
    important. Can you give me some advices? :)

      For quick solutions, I have a directory for all templates, and within
      that directory another directory for every layout. Within each layout
      directory, I would have several files, something like this:

      -/layouts/layout1/head.tpl: <!doctype...><h tml><!--common head stuff--!
      >
      -/layouts/layout1/header.tpl: </head><body><!--page header-->
      -/layouts/layout1/footer.tpl: <!--page footer--></body></html>

      Sometimes I don't include </head><bodyin heade.tpl, it shouldn't
      matter much. Then I either set $template = 'layout1' in a common.php
      file and include( "/layouts/$template/whatever.tpl" ) wherever it
      should go on the page. Sometimes I just readfile() them in if there is
      no PHP code in the .tpl files, which should be more efficient. You can
      also file_get_conten ts() the files into variables in the common.php
      file and then echo them, but then you have a lot of crap in memory.

      That is what I generally do for small, 5-10 page sites for businesses
      and stuff. Otherwise, I will use Smarty template engine or something
      similar (something similar usually means TemplateLite, which is faster/
      more efficient than Smarty). These template engines are the most
      advanced way to template your website. They are generally designed so
      you have to keep most HTML separate from PHP files. They are fast
      enough when you use them right.

      TemplateLite
      http://templatelite.sourceforge.net/
      Download TemplateLite for free. A small fast Template Engine for PHP, without a huge framework. Template Lite is a very fast, small HTML template engine written in PHP. The engine supports most of the Smarty2 template engine functions and filters.
