[Help] Needed in learning Smarty Template Engine

[cosmicx]

Hello everyone,

I am interested in learning Smarty Template Engine, but upon reading it's documentation, I see some php codes.

My question now is, do I have to learn PHP first, as a requisite, for me to understand Smarty?

For now, I only knew about XHTML and CSS.

The reason why I want to learn this stuff is, I want to edit a template for a classifieds ads script.

Well, you have know what the functions are going to do at least. But you don't have to know everything about PHP.

you must've only got to point 5 on their website.
point 6 - syntax easy to understand, no PHP knowledge required

it probably wouldnt hurt to have some idea about php but no need to be an expert.

there are better options too tho...
