Templates do not support scripting languages, except for PHP in conditionals. You can do JavaScript scripting, but it's clientside. PHP itself is a scripting language and its insertion mechanics are similar to ASP, if you were working at the file level.

You can do some tricky templating using fake conditionals. For example, I've often used the construct

<if condition="$GLOBALS['countsomething']++"></if> This is inclusion number $GLOBALS[countsomething] of this template

In this case, the sole purpose of the conditional was to perform a calculation.
