The best template engine

Anon

Currently I not using any template engine but I use PHPLib database abstraction and OOH Form classes. Well it's great . Now I'm thinking to use template.

My list :
1.PHPLibs
2.Fast Template
3.Smarty
I'm interested in Smarty curren;y, well any comments before I go further.

Don't know anything about smarty but PHPlib was built from the ground up for PHP as opposed to FastTemplate which I believe was ported from an original perl script.

Not much in it between Fast and PHPlib but you're already using other classes in that set so it would make sense to me to continue that way.

I use smarty, and have had good success. It seems to be stable, and have good features. I also use phplib for database and session support - I don't know whether there is any "tie-in" between phplib templates and other features.

I debated whether to use a template or go with class-generated HTML. Since I have to work with designers I chose the template option. ( I've run into problems that probably could have been solved with the class solution.)
