Looking for some advice

I'm developing a few scripts and I would like to keep the html outside the code, that will be done with the help of a template engine.

I know that Smarty is a good one, but I think about develope a simple one for my own use, what will be better?
I had another question, someone knows a better why how could I make for example an If condition into the template file? (Without using REGEX)


Thanks,
Eran.

 

PHP+HTML is already a template engine.

Do you want an "if" condition into the "template" file?

<?php if ($condition === true) : ?>
  some html
<?php else : ?>
  some other html
<?php endif ?>

PHP:

Why re-inventing the wheel each time?!?

 

No, I'm using tpl files for the html codes and I'm parsing it with PHP files.

 

Is this .tpl file some sort of template you made up or are you using a tempalte engine ?

 

The .tpl files contain the html data of the design
