Pretty standard stuff. I'm just wondering if som...
I develop my web applications using only PHP for the view files and I don't feel limited in any way, but I hear there's a consistent number of developers advocating "external" templating engines. So what do template engines offer that simple PHP lacks? I'm looking for practical things, so I exclude the following: babysitting bad devel...
