Hi guys
I am thinking about using smarty for my site. Its going to be a site that is going to have user-generated content.

Have anyone of you used Smarty Template Engine?
Hows it performing? Have you had any security loopholes?
Any major security issues?

Yes I have used it before looks good from where I see it.

It is also being used in phpLD the script that many directory owners are using.

I used to *hate* Smarty with a passion, but now that I've worked more with it - I'm starting to like it.

Infact, I'm thinking of replacing my basic template engine in my project "DNP" (see sig), with Smarty.

I have been using Smarty for a few years now and it still rocks.

i use smarty in ALL of my projects, it helps you in so many ways, one of the main ones for me is to clean up the php code, so it's only php code, and the template code into a template, it also means down the track if you have to redo a design (or want to do multible templates) it's alot easier.
Heck, i use to have a little app with smarty that was a "coming soon page", it was great

just named the template after the domain and bingo !, just pointed all the domains i had sitting around to it. there is alot of uses for smarty.

But the seperation of design logic and code logic will only make your life easier. (even thou at first it seems to make it harder)

Smarty rocks, especially when you use it to take advantage of PHP5's object oriented programming. Each section of your site (header, particular sideboxes, divs, etc.) can load its own variables by writing your own smarty plugin classes.

I have never used Smarty. I'm checking it out right now.

Check out PHP5 and MySQL E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional for a great understanding on how to implement smarty with object oriented PHP.

Smarty is a very good template engine system. Once you get used to using it you can build some neatly coded applications with use of the template system very fast. Its not super light though and I find that using a custom built system for my applications work better.
