PHP Equivalent of Master page in ASP.NET

Question

Is there any way to achieve the master page concept of ASP.NET in PHP?

Answer 1

You could use a template engine like Smarty:

Although Smarty is known as a "Template Engine", it would be more accurately described as a "Template/Presentation Framework." That is, it provides the programmer and template designer with a wealth of tools to automate tasks commonly dealt with at the presentation layer of an application.
