Great list! Thanks for compiling this!

one more:
Apache Wicket like template system for PHP – BSD license. https://sourceforge.net/projects/psaghetti/
fully compliant xhtml markup (no {} tags)

supports conditionals, loops, nested loops, language files support and variable modifiers. Compiles down to vsprintf() calls and eliminates the context switching in compiled views. >20% faster than smarty rendering. Most views compile once in <30ms. Worth a look.

I have created an online twig template editor at http://demo.codefunc.com if anyone is interested in testing out twig.

Also you can look what is the difference in perfomance between Twig and Smarty I think the perfomance is also very important thing which has to be considered when you deciding to use this template engine or not.

I’ve used smarty but when I needed something else like no php in the template code, the choice become different. So I tested few systems and now I use MoxesTemplate.

Even if there are many template-engines listed in here …

FLUID is missing
It’s used in the new Framework FLOW3 that’s currently in development.
The new TYPO3-version 5.0 will be build on this framework.

Cleanest template engine I’ve seen is in the Fat-Free framework. Looks like abbreviated PHP. And it’s really fast because it can use APC or XCache at the backend.

@Goran,

The post focuses on “totally free” template engines. As far as I can see, TIDEngine is not free for commercial projects.

There are many comments being posted for commercial projects which can make this spot more an adspace than comments if they are approved.

Simply, there are no problems but this post discusses free solutions and I’m just trying to keep it so.
