什么时候使用Smarty＆MVC框架

Question

I am doing a project , which was developed in smarty.
I have never used it before , but it looks good and clean also it have some shortcuts to do the things.
But I have always used MVC frameworks (codeignter) , it also carries its own templating system.Which also use php like smarty. So now I am confused between when to use Smarty & when MVC frameworks.

Answer 1

Smarty can be used as a part of View implementation of some MVC framework. So your question is about comparing apples and oranges

As you mentioned

it also carries its own templating system

so use smarty when you want to use it instead of the templating system shipped with a framework
