Successful PHP applications and projects do not require a template engine. However, when a project starts to involve both programmers and designers, it is a good idea to separate application code from presentation. Another benefit of this model is with security/application updates.
Oscommerce is an open source shopping cart written in PHP. Presentation code is mixed with application code and as a result, most updates require manual code changes. This is because most people using this application customized the files that contain the presentation+application code. If it were separate, it would be easier to make the required updates and users would be more likely to make the changes.
