•Routes through single file, typically index.php

•Smarty - established PHP template system

•Separate, bare-bones language

•Enforces strong separation between display logic and business logic

...Fusebox and Smarty• Online research yielded no results regarding

these two being used together

<set name="product_id" value="{$CartInfo[$i]['product_id']}" /><set name="productPrice[$product_id]" value="{$CartInfo[$i]['price']}" />

</loop><smt.assign name="CartInfo" value="$CartInfo" /><smt.assign name="subTotalCost" value="$subTotalCost" /><smt.assign name="totalWeight" value="$totalWeight" /><smt.assign name="additional_handling" value="$additional_handling" />

<circuit alias="Store" path="Store/"/><circuit alias="mStore" path="Store/Model/" parent="Store" /><circuit alias="vStore" path="Store/View/" parent="Store" />
