templating

In a new post to the Liip blog Benoît Pointet talks about his experience with Silex, the micro-framework from Fabien Potencier and the Symfony crowd.

On PHPBuilder.com today there's a new article looking at five PHP templating engines that they think are worth a look for use in your next project (or maybe in a current one).

From the SitePoint PHP blog today there's a new tutorial from Craig Buckler (part one of a series) on how to create your own Twitter widget you can drop in anywhere on your site (main content or sidebar).

It uses cURL to make the requests to the Twitter servers, so you'll need that installed on your PHP instance.

New on the CodingThis.com blog there's a post about templating using SimpleXML to parse a basic XML file and push the data into a template.

New from the Agile Toolkit News site today, there's a new article looking at selectively rendering views in framework-based web applications, handling them as objects instead of just output.

With the latest site release over on Joind.in, we've added something a bit more fun for users of the site - handy little widgets that let you embed information from the site into yours.

You can see an example of it if you look to the right (well, if you're looking at the site not the feed, of course).

On his blog today Fawad Hassan has the first part of a series where he's showing you how to create a CRUD interface by combining jQuery and the CodeIgniter framework.

On developer.com today they've posted the third part of their series about getting your own home-brew PHP MVC application framework up and running.

In response to the (now somewhat infamous) post from Fabien Potencier about templating in PHP and comparisons of his own templating system (Twig) with various other offerings around the community, Thomas Koch notes that the eZ Components template is not slow and that maybe Fabien just wasn't using it correctly.

New on his blog today Fabien Potencier tackles a tough topic for the PHP community - templating languages and whether or not their that useful/good after all.
