Updated calls to current Smarty API (register_function()/register_modifier()/register_block() -> registerPlugin(); assign_by_ref() -> assignByRef()). Fixed file includes in templates with quotes. Removed SmartyValidate.class.php includes. Still work in progress as some errors still appear!

Variables assigned from PHP
Assigned variables that are referenced by preceding them with a dollar
($
) sign.
PHP code
<?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 />
