Over and over
I have to acknowledge that what pervades my thinking, what has done for years, is an insistent question.
Do the people who die young, know that they will die young?
Recently I have concluded that they do not know this.
I am now convinced that they were asking the same question as I am. Over and over.

http://phpsavant.com/ Savant is a powerful but lightweight PEAR-compliant template system for PHP. It is non-compiling, and uses PHP itself as its template language so you do not need to learn a new markup system (c.f. comments and explanation from Harry Fuecks and Brian Lozier). It has an object-oriented system of template plugins and output filters, so it sports almost all of the power of Smarty with almost none of the overhead.
