Summary

Smarty is a powerful solution to a nagging problem that developers face on a regular basis. Even if you don’t choose it as your templating engine, hopefully the concepts set forth in this chapter at least convinced you that some templating solution is necessary.

In the next chapter, the fun continues, as we turn our attention to PHP’s abilities as applied to one of the newer forces to hit the IT industry in recent years: Web Services. You’ll learn about several interesting Web Services features, some built into PHP and others made available via third-party extensions.
