Description:
Smarty is a template engine for PHP. One of the unique aspects about
Smarty that sets it apart from other templating solutions is that it
converts the templates into native php scripts upon the first
execution. After that, it just executes the compiled PHP scripts.
Therefore, there is no costly template file parsing for each request.
