Question

PHP

Hello!
Is it true that when using template engines like tpl, the speed drops significantly in php?
Thank you.

Answer 1

There are two main points, 1) PHP itself is a template
BUT 2) The idea of ​​template engines is to simplify the work with the code, for example, the same twig generates a PHP file and caches the result.
As a result, when caching the result of the work, it is not very important how quickly this very result is generated, the convenience of work is important.

Answer 2

Modern templating engines compile the whole thing into fairly efficient PHP. So no, not true, or it all depends on the template engine.
