I spent most of today trying to use Smarty. I am starting to come to the conclusion that most of today was a waste. I like the general idea of it, but it seems redundant. The part that finally made me give up, was when I tried to display an error message for a form. The error message gets cached and will continue to display for an hour (default).

There is some {INSERT} function that is supposed to allow you to insert dynamic content on the page, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. If you read the documentation http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/lang...ion.insert.php and can understand it, you are a lot smarter than me.

It sounds like you have to create a function that gets the dynamic content, then use the, hell I don't know. But it sounds like 3 times as much work.
