please advice: doing some thinking about mvc / templating system
 

Hi again , this is my first post so I hope this question is in the right place, if it's not please mods move it to the right place :) ..

as a web developer, I seem to evolve on a path which goes like this ..

1. Write HTML Pages and add PHP tags into them
2. Realize on a large scale, this is going to be hard to maintain *!*
3. Learn about MVC and start to think it's cool 8-)
4. Trying smarty templating engine ..

Basically, the way of templating engine works like this ( in my understanding ) :
a) do code in PHP
b) Call smarty and fill in the variables in a template
c) Send the output

please Correct me if I'm wrong ..

but then again, I think step a and b already use a lot of processing time .. if I have much bigger application I don't know how much process and took time..

I need advice, I'm doing some project with team in it at office and it seems to be large application. I need advice on method how am I gonna do it ? some say MVC is bad, some say it's not ..

Bear in mind, I'm newbie :-$ .. All I can do is procedural coding, a little bit of OOP ...

thanks in advance

Well, if its a big project you are doing. I recommend to use OO rather than the old-fashioned way in coding php projects.

With the templates, i have not even tried template system like smarty, phptal, etc but try to check their features and tutorials and have a glance on them, for sure they are great/useful. And if you can check the article section there is a PHPTal Tutorial there.
