    advantage is when one person code the script and another person design the script... if you do the both jobs there is no advantage! :)

    good luck!

    It separates coding from designing to give it a 2-tier web application look.

    There are heaps of template engines.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_engine_(web)

    Template engines make it easier for designers who know nothing about scripting to update a site. It also protects the underlying code from being tampered with by a designer who thinks they know how to code.
