Important update/disclaimer: I no longer agree with myself on this. Smarty and HTML_QuickForm together are too much of a pain, except perhaps in rare circumstances. I now believe in true MVC and serious frameworks like the Zend Framework for serious web application development. And I now agree with the school that holds that PHP itself is just fine for templating thank you very much.
