In this framework you can write Views as PHP scripts or as templates. Samo of features of this framework: - action and action-chains - call to another actions/action-chains from action-chain - pre- and post- actions with exceptions (i.e. you can exclude some actions/action-chains from pre- or post- actions) - validators for simple check forms - client-side validators - AJAX - support for DB configuration in framework configuration - support for DB connections (PDO, ADOdb and web.db) - support for template systems (by default drivers for web.template and Smarty) - router – for simple support for nice URL and generate proper URL addresses - token - authorization frame - DB Session’s handler and more... http://webframework.sourceforge.net/ So you web.framework - new MVC framework for PHP 5.

We are considering various options for a rearchitecture of Goomzee's storefronts. I liked smarty due to it's template and caching but like yourself, we already have custom classes and functions for display. I appreciate the input.

But I'm not a big fan of Smarty because it seems redundant to me. *PHP* is the templating engine. Why reinvent the wheel? You could argue that it's easier for non-PHP programmers, but IMO it's not much easier. You still have to understand if/then, loops, arrays etc. Why not just teach them basic PHP?

As a former J2EE architect, specializing in MVC and design patterns, most Java-based platforms are moving towards a STRUTS (Apache project) style architecture. I see Smarty/Pear as perhaps the PHP equivilent but given your research am curious on your thoughts? Curious on your thoughts about the Smarty library set, perhaps coupled with PEAR lib?
