A Follow-Up to PHP Templating

I recently shared a post about straightforward PHP templating using HEREDOC syntax. While effective for simple, self-contained string manipulation (as I'm currently using it on this WordPress site), the potential for XSS vulnerabilities was rightly pointed out. My usage avoids this risk due to the limited scope.

Since then, several excellent articles on PHP templating have emerged, offering alternative approaches. Here's a quick roundup:

• Chris Geelhoed's Method: This approach differs from mine, employing a function to pass data and using require statements for template files that rely on pre-set global variables.
• Timber (Twig for WordPress): For those interested in leveraging Twig's power within WordPress, Timber is a robust solution. TJ Fogarty's article provides a comprehensive overview.
• Sprig (Lightweight Twig Alternative): If Timber seems overly complex, consider Sprig by Russell Heimlich. Its streamlined approach is quite appealing.
• Vue.js Inline Templates: Jonathan Land demonstrates how Vue.js inline templates can be effectively integrated into WordPress for templating tasks.
• Charlie Walter's Multifaceted Approach: Charlie Walter explores various WordPress templating methods, including Jade, Mustache, and Twig, along with some creative combinations.
• TinyButStrong Templating Engine: I discovered TinyButStrong, an actively maintained templating language that appears well-suited for this purpose.

This compilation provides a range of options for PHP templating, catering to different needs and complexity levels.
