Notes

PHPTAL

  • Caching is somewhat inconvenient, only within templates, with restrictions to template inheritance

Twig

  • No output cache

Savant

  • practically plain PHP, thus no convenience whatsoever.
  • regular PHP errors, warnings, notices
  • no caching
  • no security
  • reads TPLs only from file system
  • No output cache

RainTPL

Error Handling

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /path/foo.72140ddaa86134d7ec0ad5ad0c1b54f5.rtpl.php on line 10

Variable Output

  • no auto escaping, mentioned as of v3
  • modifiers {$foo|modifier} may take only a single argument {$foo|modifier:1} is ok, {$foo|modifier:1:2} is not
  • no default modifiers (other than what php-core-functions can be used directly) supplied

Iterating Arrays

  • overwriting variables key, value, counter
  • Missing convenience $foo.[first|last|total|…]
  • nested loops have no access to outer loop's data (unless mapped explicitly)
  • only loops arrays (no ArrayObject, ArrayAccess, Iterator, …)

Template Structure

  • {include} does not accept variables to set for the included template
  • no template inheritance

Files

  • can read template source only from file system
  • can cache only on file system
  • has no race condition protection whatsoever

Cache

  • Output-Cache for complete output
  • apparently sub-templates may have individual cache-timeouts

Security

  • no function white-list (only black-list)
  • black_list doesn't differentiate between {function="foo"} and {$foo}.
