templates - Separating Logic/Style in PHP properly

Question

I'm just wondering what is the best way to separate logic components from the layout in a PHP web project?

The content is stored in MySQL, the logic is PHP and the templates are HTML/CSS of course. My question is, how to solve this issue best (without using a CMS).

Answer 1

Use a Template Engine, e.g. Smarty.

Alternatively just use HTML with embedded php for templates, just be careful not to put too much logic into the template.
