yes and no...

php started its life as a template system. it has since evolved, for
better or worse, into a programming language. a template system should
separate presentation from business logic. php doesn't. if you use php
as a template system there is no way to enforce this separation.
that's where a real template system (like Smarty) comes in.

that'll be $0.02.
