Templating a PHP script?

Hey

I'm wanting to start working on a PHP script but I'm not sure on the best way of templating it. I was thinking I'd have header.tpl and footer.tpl and then do something like this ...

<?php
include("includes/config.php");
include("includes/functions.php");
include("templates/header.tpl");
?>

All of my page content here.

<?php
include("templates/footer.tpl");
?>

PHP:

Although, the problem with that, is I can't modify page titles and such, unless I do something like, <?php echo $title; ?> in the header.tpl file and then set $title before header.tpl is included.

Is this an efficient way of doing what I want or is there something better?

All help is appreciated, thank you.

 

i can help you..
but that will not be free..

 

Oh damn, I've posted this in the wrong forum.

 

For that matter Smarty (http://www.smarty.net/) will be the best choice.

 

lo0ol..i know that bro..
your problem is very simple..
a good choice is to use smarty
but id you want smaller one there are alot
just search for php template engine

 

Smarty seems to big for what I want though, I mean, am I going to have problems with my idea or not, because if I don't it's probably going to be best for my fairly small script.

 

If its a small script then your approach is absolutely fine.

 

told u simple..
go to google.com
search search for php template engine..
thats all.

 

A function like

function header($title) { }

PHP:

should do
