I know PHP "MVC" frameworks that make use of Smarty as a template engine to the presentation-layer (View) and that is also quite similar to Django. I might excuse now already if I've got this whole thing wrong, but it seems like it that I am definetily not alone since everyone is jabbing about these wonderful MVC Frameworks now coming to town with your average circus of half-baked software programmers. If I have understood this correct is this “long-story-short-interpretation” right ?
