I am writing a ZF Application that generates emails as certain actions occur, e.g. when a user signs up. My default mail settings are set in a Mail Resource plugin.

My question is, what's the best approach to managing the email templates? They could be text files, .ini, or in the code itself.

It seems to me that text files would be the easiest, but I'm always cautious about introducing another kind of file type that needs to be managed. Has anyone tried using .ini? How does this work?

You can store your email template in following directory

Create an view script like : /views/emails/template.phtml

<body>
<?php echo $this->var1; ?>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<?php echo $this->var2; ?>
</body>

I would say - definitively not in the code! It will just make your code mixed up with representation, which you want to show to the user. Plus if your site is multi-language - it will make you to have even bigger mess... Good idea would be to use some kind of template engine.
