{append}

{append} is used for creating or appending template variable arrays during the execution of a template.

Note

Assignment of variables in-template is essentially placing application logic into the presentation that may be better handled in PHP. Use at your own discretion.

Attributes:

Attribute Name Type Required Default Description


    var         string     Yes       *n/a*   The name of the variable being assigned
   value        string     Yes       *n/a*   The value being assigned
   index        string      No       *n/a*   The index for the new array element. If not specified the value is append to the end of the array.
   scope        string      No       *n/a*   The scope of the assigned variable: \'parent\',\'root\' or \'global\'

Option Flags:

Name    Description

nocache Assigns the variable with the 'nocache' attribute

{append var='name' value='Bob' index='first'}
{append var='name' value='Meyer' index='last'}
// or 
{append 'name' 'Bob' index='first'} {* short-hand *}
{append 'name' 'Meyer' index='last'} {* short-hand *}

The first name is {$name.first}.<br>
The last name is {$name.last}.

The above example will output:

The first name is Bob.
The last name is Meyer.
