php and templates.

Post by typeblu »

i was curious if you professional php developers use premade template systems like smarty or stuff like b2, or if you just create your own on a project to project basis? or maybe you have your own custom one that you use? or is there a better approach?

noting, but lets say the code has few exploitable issues (like phpbb2 few days ago), then it is likely that my clients will get affected, besides, i like coding my own stuff, i have my own library of scripts :D.
