Using Smarty should not hinder any memcached implementation of your
site. You still have full control of retreiving/storing data via
cache or the database before anything gets passed to Smarty.
In your foo.php file, you must set up includes, do your scripting,
blah blah blah, and pass your data to the template engine via methods
like Smarty::assign(). Just make sure you do your caching before you
assign anything to be displayed via the template engine.

Are you saying that it's better to cache the output, as opposed to
SQL queries?
For those of you familiar with PHP, what if the output is being
handled by Smarty? This means I can't really handle the output
directly.
