I really don't understand why people have such disregard for PHP as a template system... I'm not saying one way is better or worse (it's really a matter of preference), just that the PHP way isn't implicitly bad or messy...

/* The Smarty way */
$smarty->assign('display_variable',$display_variable);
...
{* template *}
<dl>
 {foreach key=key item=var from=$display_variable}
   <dt>{$key}</dt><dd>{$var}</dd>
 {/foreach}
</dl>

/* The PHP way */
<dl>
 <?php foreach ($display_variable as $key => $var) { ?>
   <dt><?= $key?></dt><dd><?= $var ?></dd>
 <?php } /* end foreach ($display_variable) */ ?>
</dl>

Is it really *that* bad?
