How to find the exact PHP template needed?

[Mario2027]

Hi!

I'm a PHP Pro（I think I am one）, but this is the first time for me to try a PHP template, so I have no clue on how to choose one. Do you have some tips to help me choose the/a right PHP template?

Needs for a PHP Template:
- it is efficient since the PHP parser does the dirty work
- split graphics by contents, manage theme
- WYSIWIG
- Ready to use with several frameworks using the provided adapters (ZendFramework, Agavi, CakePHP, CodeIgniter)

Which PHP Template is the right one I am seeking for?

thx

I would recommend just doing it the normal way XD

I personally don't know, since I haven't worked with it yet, but while I was studying php I read that smarty is a very good choice. Maybe someone can confirm (or deny) this.

Smarty is good, but not very portable. Personally I use the Symfony framework. The templating engine provided is suitable for my needs, and because it uses normal PHP tags, it's also fairly portable to other frameworks if necessary.
