PHPTAL - PHP Template Attribute Language
PHP (wiki) - urs @ 12:37:42

PHPTAL [1] is an implementation of the excellent Zope Page Template (ZPT) system for PHP. PHPTAL supports TAL, METAL, I18N namespaces.

PHPTALES is the equivalent of TALES, the Template Attribute Language Expression Syntax, it defines how are handled xml attribute values. XML/HTML templates exists to separate logic from presentation in web services. This separation brings more than one benefits in its luggage.

* better application design
* easier task repartition
* better maintainability
* web skins

I came across that implementation while reading about Simon's own work [2].
