Templating engines
Today I started on a private project with one of my friends, where we are looking at creating a fitness and healthstyle website, and this time around I wanted to design a very robust, hack-safe website which will keep you going for a few years.
I've evaluated some of the FREE templating system available under the gnu licenses and found two in particular very interesting, namely:
1. patTemplate
2. Smarty
SO of course I did and went some reading about the different systems, and found an excellent tutorial/blog-entry that Havard Lindset wrote about patTemplate on DevArticles.com .
At the end of the day I selected Smarty, why I really don't know, maybe because I got it to work the fastest and am now running a multi-theme, multi-language web interface with this engine.
Now just waiting for our first advertisers ... mmm

Hack Safe my butt :) Gimme the url of the site, ill hack it.
I see where your going with that,
what I mean when saying Hacksafe, templates make it easier to put your site protection on the "interface" level and also seperately on the code site, but it all depends on how you implement it all and implement your pretection, but don't be shy tell me how u would go about.
Sorry if you consider this as a comment spam but I have wrote on my blog a short series about Smarty: http://piku.ropage.com/category/tips/template-engines/
