patTemplatepear.php-tools.netPowerful template engine.patTemplate is a powerful, non-compiling templating engine, that uses XML tags to divide a document into different parts.
It provides different template types to emulate if/else and switch/case constructs, variable modifiers,
input- and output filters and several more useful features.Stephan Schmidtschstschst@php-tools.netyesAndrew Eddieeddieajauargh@php-tools.netyesgERD Schaufelbergergerdgerd@php-tools.netyesSebastian Mordziolgerdargh@php-tools.netyes2007-06-133.2.0a23.2.0alphastableLGPLChanges since 3.1.x:
