What is the purpose of the template engine mentioned in the thread and how does it function in PHP?

The purpose of a template engine in PHP is to separate the presentation layer from the business logic in web applications. It allows developers to create templates with placeholders for dynamic content, making it easier to maintain and update the design of a website without touching the underlying code. 

<?php
// Using the Twig template engine in PHP
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('path/to/templates');
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);

echo $twig->render('index.html', ['name' => 'John Doe']);
?>
