This is an usual model and it works pretty well in most cases, however I have ran into situations where this causes some misconceptions.

The DMSTwigExtensionBundle

When I started using Symfony one of the aspects that really caught my eye was Twig, it really got me back into using a template engine and I don’t think i can ever go back to mixing my HTML and PHP again.
