Templum: Simple PHP Templating

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

At the company I work for (ZX), we needed a simple yet powerful templating language for PHP. I googled around a bit for something, but we couldn’t really find anything. So I wrote Templum, and ZX was kind enough to allow me to release it as Open Source under the MIT License.

From the Templum homepage:

Templum is an extremely lightweight, simple yet powerful and fast templating engine for PHP. It re-uses the power of PHP itself for rendering templates, but provides additional features making it easier to write templating code. Rendering templates using Templum is very fast; it approximates native PHP rendering speed for include() statements.

You can install it using PEAR:

pear install http://templum.electricmonk.nl/releases/templum-0.1.0.tgz
