Expose PHP template engine is a template engine written in PHP. A template is a special kind of document that describes how a page will look like. How does this differ from writing webpages/applications using ordinary PHP files?

A template does not contain code to fetch data from a database or deal with forms. It only contains code how this data is transformed to HTML.

Some reasons to use the Expose template engine:

Application logic and presentation is separated. It makes your code much more beautiful and manageable.
Templates are fed only the parameters you specifiy and support only a subset of native PHP functions. This means safer code and your designers will be happier, because they don't have to inject their HTML in application code.
Expose supports server- and client-sided caching. This will considerably cut down on server/database load and reduces bandwidth.
Expose has built-in locale support. Translators can work with separate files and never need to touch application files or templates. Writing applications in multiple languages has become easier than ever before!
Plugins simplify common tasks like inserting a select box or date picker in your page.
The template script language is based on PHP, which means you don't have to learn a new language.

What's New in This Release:
The Boolean "and" (&&) operator is now properly recognized.
Several array PHP functions are now registered at default.
The first newline after the close tag (?>) is now stripped like expected.
The built-in display() template function now correctly passes additional parameters to the included template.
