What's "smarty"?
Are you sure that's not a carried-over April 1 joke? I don't trust much hacking at the beginning of April. :)

Good point. :D

Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Ask Warrior for a better description.

That's what I thought too, but it's not on the wikipedia site, and no references to it anywhere on the PHP site. I don't think they'd go talk about the Muslim Prophet that way either.
As Rabbit said, Smarty is an incredibly versatile template engine for PHP. It supports template compilation (for faster parsing/script execution when templates must be rendered), template caching and a nifty feature called template configuration settings, which is explained in a basic manner by its name.
Perhaps their server went down for maitenance or something of that nature. Also, most subdomains on the php.net domain (other than the ones that specify a mirror, such as us2.php.net) are hosted external from the PHP infrastructure, I think. PEAR is another one like this (which, incidentally, seems to be working fine).
It was hacked (there was a defaced page up earlier but it was taken down)

Hm, thanks for clarifying that. I really dislike people who pointlessly take down things like this.
That link gives me "connection refused."

Yes, that's why Blaze originally said it was hacked. ;)

When I replied, it was defaced. So I assume it was when Blaze posted, too.

Aah, I see. It's a bummer people do stupid things like this. Maybe they just killed the DNS A Record or something.
Chances are, it wasn't an April Fools joke, and smarty's host took its insecure server(s) offline to fix vulnerabilities before serving more webpages.

Well, I checked a page on their site, /download.php or something, and it was the normal one. So I guess it was their actual site. Probably a CGI or PHP thing.
It looks good now! :)
Incidentally, the title should be "PHP Website Hacked", not "PHP Hacked" :P
It is a subdomain for php.net so it counts. ;)
Even if it was www.php.net, PHP still wasn't hacked, PHP's site was!
iago's right, I'd say.

Unless, of course, they used a PHP exploit to take it down! :O
But that's unknown, so you're right. :)
