Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1 It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0. Remark: During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs: Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier. As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again. The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

Variables assigned from PHP
Variables assigned from PHP are referenced by preceding them with a dollar
($
) sign.
Examples
<?php
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->assign('firstname', 'Doug');
$smarty->assign('lastname', 'Evans');
$smarty->assign('meetingPlace', 'New York');
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
index.tpl
source:
Hello {$firstname} {$lastname}, glad to see you can make it.
<br />
{* this will not work as $variables are case sensitive *}
This weeks meeting is in {$meetingplace}.
{* this will work *}
This weeks meeting is in {$meetingPlace}.
This above would output:
Hello Doug Evans, glad to see you can make it.
<br />
This weeks meeting is in .
This weeks meeting is in New York.
Associative arrays
You can also reference associative array variables by specifying the key after a dot "." symbol.
<?php
$smarty->assign('Contacts',
array('fax' => '555-222-9876',
'email' => 'zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com',
'phone' => array('home' => '555-444-3333',
'cell' => '555-111-1234')
)
);
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
index.tpl
source:
{$Contacts.fax}<br />
{$Contacts.email}<br />
{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
{$Contacts.phone.home}<br />
{$Contacts.phone.cell}<br />
this will output:
555-222-9876<br />
zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
555-444-3333<br />
555-111-1234<br />
Array indexes
You can reference arrays by their index, much like native PHP syntax.
<?php
$smarty->assign('Contacts', array(
'555-222-9876',
'zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com',
array('555-444-3333',
'555-111-1234')
));
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
index.tpl
source:
{$Contacts[0]}<br />
{$Contacts[1]}<br />
{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
{$Contacts[2][0]}<br />
{$Contacts[2][1]}<br />
This will output:
555-222-9876<br />
zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
555-444-3333<br />
555-111-1234<br />
Objects
Properties of objects assigned from PHP
can be referenced by specifying the property name after the ->
symbol.
name: {$person->name}<br />
email: {$person->email}<br />
this will output:
name: Zaphod Beeblebrox<br />
email: zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
