-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-9420 2008-11-07 01:32:26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : php-Smarty Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2.6.20 Release : 2.fc9 URL : http://smarty.php.net Summary : Template/Presentation Framework for PHP Description : Although Smarty is known as a "Template Engine", it would be more accurately described as a "Template/Presentation Framework." That is, it provides the programmer and template designer with a wealth of tools to automate tasks commonly dealt with at the presentation layer of an application. I stress the word Framework because Smarty is not a simple tag-replacing template engine. Although it can be used for such a simple purpose, its focus is on quick and painless development and deployment of your application, while maintaining high-performance, scalability, security and future growth.
