I do not see the display of values for day, month, or year as being 
business logic. If the calculations do not relate to the domain, I would 
expect to see them in the presentation layer, whether that's php or a 
different template system. The fact that they are calculations does not 
necessarily mean that the code is business logic. In this particular 
case, smarty does have a better way of performing *presentation* logic.
