Trob is a small PHP framework with the following components:
The primary goal is to provide a simple template based PHP platform with access to common tools. All of these tools are optional, but enabled by default to facilitate rapid development.
Clone this repo and point a new .php file at Trob
include("/path/to/trob/trob.class.php");
$trob = new trob;
$trob->assign("output", "Hello world!");
$trob->display();
Then create a smarty template file in a tpls/ directory with a .stpl extension.
